997 tranny mount vs Torque Solution inserts
Wanted peoples opinion on upgrading to a 997 tranny mount or the Torque Solution inserts. I have a LWFW with chatter and am going to be doing RSS motor mounts and am afraid that it might be unbearble for a strett car coming to noise vibration in the cabin.
I really want less movement from my powertrain, save my tranny from not going smoothly into gear when under heavy "G's" becase the gear is no longer in the same place, but was wondering if doing both (tranny and the engine mounts) would be to much vibration transmitted into the cabin for a street car.
Is the stock 997 mounts more forgiving then the following inserts from Torque Solutions?

i can't speak on the trans mounts? but i just installed the wevo semi solid motor mounts.. and it is very noticeable. noise/vibration/handling. it delivers ALL road environment up your spine lol.. i like my car raw, so it's ok. but it's not for a full time street car, i would think. the solids would probably be too harsh. for me. trans mounts for me next.

"Got my 75's last week, thanks Eddie, and had them installed today. Be prepared for a whole lot of noise and vibration. Very noticeable. If you thought the rattle of the LW flywheel was bad before, wait till you stiffen up your mounts. It's amazing how much the OEM mounts dampen things and how much flex there is in the OEM as compared to the torque solutions inserts. I had to call my tech to make sure that that's where the racket was coming from. I'm anxious to see if there is a difference this weekend at Sebring. The car felt very direct and responsive just driving home from the shop, almost like the wheels were spinning ever so slightly under harder acceleration, as if the power is being put down more directly... Can taking up the "slack" in the transmission mounts have that effect, or am I imagining things? Can't wait to see how it feels at the track."

Guys thank you for your valuable information.
I was wondering if there is a noticeable performance difference between the stock 996 tranny mount verses the stock 997 that is supposed to be an upgrade for our 996's?
So far from the input I am going to do the engine mounts from RSS(even though I am reluctant because there is enough going on with a LWFW and a 3" catless exhaust) to help save my tranny and have a better feel shifting and handling.
I will see how the RSS motor mounts pans out first, but if the experience is that the 997 stock mounts are worth it performance wise and won't add a ton more of vibration that the RSS mount already did, I will go ahead with them.

i use the torque solutions motor mounts and did the window weld soultion for the trans mount. everything is 75 durometer and about all i noticed was a high pitched hum in the trans tunnel and shifter if i rest my hand on it.
i tried to get the t/s trans mount from awe and they didnt have it so the 20$ fix was done and im glad!

I have the Porsche OEM 993RS engine mounts on my car along with the 997 tranny mount. The engine mounts are excellent as they only transmit a little more vibration at idle otherwise they are great. The 997 mounts are a touch stiffer compared to the 996 version but hard to tell a difference.
edit: sorry, i thought I read 993RS transmission mounts... I needed glasses.

not sure i understand the question. for the trans mount i removed it , cleaned it and using a tube of window weld from home depot filled the openings that the oem mount has and filled all the cracks in the rubber bushing effectively making a poly mount instead of a rubber mount. 75 durometer rating and took about 2 hrs total. let dry for 72 hrs and reinstalled. total cost was about 20$ for the tube of window weld.

I see. Well I see torque solutions sells their mounts for $150, but I assume you have to press out the stock mounts.
They also sell a $400 kit which has the mounts already installed in a carrier for a quick swap.
I suppose if you have a press or access to a press, then the $150 price is the way to go.

mine were broken but still intact in the housing. i just taped up one side and pushed the window weld in. with soapy fingers you work the materialinto any voids, smooth it out and let set. after a couple days trim any excess off with a razor blade and your done

I did the window weld mod on my stock 996 mount and got the RSS motor mounts. I notice a tiny bit more vibration at idle and slow second gear cruising. But neither is intrusive and doesn't bother me at all. Just did a 5 hour trip (each way) to CT and it was no different than the stock mounts.
I've heard the torque solutions trans and motor mounts are very stiff and transfer a decent amount of vibration. The window weld is something like 60 or 65 durometer so it transfers significantly less vibration.
