The 997 tranny mount is what you want as posted by Mike. Go to Pelican parts and you will see they no longer carry the 996 version (look at part #).

Ok guys. I got my test drive in. I can definitely feel more tightness in the car, but it doesn't feel any more harsh with road feedback. My journey included stage: (1) PSS9's, (2) H&R sways front/rear and, (3) updated tranny mount and 997 SS Wevo motor mounts. What's next?, Motons? I think I'm done and I know I'm happy.

Its the unit, BUT it is absolutely an "upgrade". The newer part is a 997TT part, and is a HUGE improvement over the old 996TT part. The material in the bushings is stiffer, and covers more internal area. When I put that mount in, my shifting improved over just having improved WEVO motor mounts.

I also have a 997TT and thinking upgrading the engine mount to enhance response.
After reading this thread, it just helped alot. Thx for the opinions. Seems like wevo is the way to go. Just looked at the 997SS. But anyone know the difference between this 997SS from wevo and the factory RS(assumed 997GT3RS?) mount?
Thx again for all the experienced user here.

My guess is price... The guys at WEVO have done their homework on most of their stuff, and it's designed for track abuse... The GT3 guys hipped me to the WEVO C2 mount in the first place, and you know those guys punish their cars... The RS mount is a great part, but you pay the porsche tax...

I think the way it breaks down in stiffness is this from what I learned when I was looking:
stock - softest
X73
RS
Wevo - black
Wevo - blue
solid
I got wevo black and I cannot feel any difference, but then again, I have a very loud exhaust and a lwfw.
The Wevo Black is slightly softer than the blue. From my understanding about 10% difference is all. The wevo also has incredible craftsmanship compared to the others. The amount of eurethane inside the wevo's is so minimal it is hard to believe that it does anything. it is nearly a solid.
