So the rs are gearbox mounts. OK. Got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other parts I need to get? https://www.fvd.net/us-en/FVD375964/clubsport-engine-mount-set-964-993-oem.html That's not the one that I bought.

So, just so I'm understanding what my eyes read.. This 964 ENGINE mount can be used as a GEAR mount for cayman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 911 engine mounts are the 987 gearbox mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liongolfer Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 Found this kit at ECS. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-assembled-by-ecs-parts/rs-motor-mount-kit/96437504381kt1/ The mounts are Uro. How do they stack up against original RS mounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 The Type 911 kit is Uro. I haven't done enough miles nor had them long enough (been fitted over winter) to make any conclusions, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate your time. P.S. They have cut shipping cost to 50 from 80 quid... what choice do I have.. sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only fitted them to a 986 (same setup) and had no clearance issues It's an easy job and can be done on the driveway in a few hours. The engine mount is slightly harder due to access but if you can borrow a lift it makes it much easier Edited January 7, 2022 by Lennym1984 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my PDK CR, I had to cut the bolt thread deeper (it's only a partial thread) and then cut about 10mm off the edge of the bolt. The bolts are stainless steel and a regular mild steel thread cutter won't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liongolfer Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Anyone on these? How are they compared to stock? NVH? https://www.sharkwerks.com/transmission/p4596-rss-tarmac-performance-transmission-mounts-for-987-987-2-cayman-boxster-RSST408 Do these reuse the stock mount brackets? Thanks.

Pretzel Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 What sort to mileage are you up to before needing new engine and gearbox mounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine mounts tend to deteriorate from about 50-60k (the rubber starts to split and tear) but once you are up to about 100k they'll be knackered. The gearbox mounts may last the life of the car (the ones I removed from my 100k Cayman were fine) or they can fail prematurely. They are easy to replace so not a big deal to change them for something stiffer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told (by the seller) that they do induce a fair bit of NVH and hence am considering to stay original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had three different types on Boxsters/Caymans and I have never noticed any significant increase in NVH. Standard - 964 RS - DIY polyurethane mounts (85a). Maybe some people are more sensitive than me but I also have polybushed suspension and that certainly added noticeable vibrations (which I can live with).

If yes, I'm not sure I want that as my CS is quite chatty already as is. I don't track and perhaps will do (borders still closed here) the very occasional B-Road drive. I guess this would solicit a "stay with stock" recommendation but since I need to change them ... I changed to the 964 mounts, which are a solid bush compared with the liquid filled OE bushes. There is definitely an increase in NVH, which for a weekend fun car wouldn’t be an issue, but for a daily driver on the motorway would be irksome.
