I took mine out, if someone wants it, $60 shipped,

 

Nitro, why did you remove it?

 

my tranny mount was too tired and was resting too hard on the stiffner, loved it on city driving but my girlfriend complaint on the highway of too much vibration. good product tho

my paypal is alex.sales2@hotmail.com will ship next day priority, i used it for about 3days

 

I'll have the mount if it's still for sale.

 

Achieve the benefits of a solid mount while retaining daily drivability.

If you are considering Function First, stop by our catalog section for your 996 and learn more about the inserts here.

Great feedback in this thread to help make your decision either way but we feel this is a cost-effective option with results you can definitely feel.

I have had my FF mount installed since last week. At first I did think it was too harsh allowing too much vibration into the cabin of the car. But as I drove it I kind of liked that the vibes synced with the howl of my Fister modded mufflers. At around 3.5-4k the howl started and the vibes were at their worst ( not bad at all). I really couldn't tell if the shifting was any better. But at that point I thought themed was okay not great but just okay.
This weekend I attended a NASA event as an instructor. Once I got the car on track the change was really apparent. My shifts were positive and firm. Of course the vibrations were not an issue on track but on the drive home on Sunday after 3 hard sessions on track the vibes seemed to have softened a little with no loss of handling or positive shifting. Driving around town today, the car seemed a little more harsh than stock but not bad at all. I'm going to Laguna Seca tomorrow, so I'll have more input. But I like the change so I give this mod two thumbs up.

Do you still have the tranny mounts, if so I''l have them if you can ship to the UK.

$60 plus $20 shipping?

 

Can anyone comment on how difficult these are to install without removing the transmission?

Thanks

It isn't too bad. My main issue was getting the car up high enough to comfortably do the work. Getting the bushing in wasn't too difficult using dish soap as a lubricant on the bushing and also in the openings in the Trans mount. I had to use my dead blow hammer to do a little persuasion. Follow the instructions and use a torque wrench for the finial tightening of the mounting nuts. It took me about two hours but I'm slow.

How did Laguna go Matt?

The event went very well! Excellent feedback from the mount. I really like it. I also had my new GT3 bars and Hankook RS3s working. This combination makes for a really stable platform. The weather was great after some morning fog, lots of sunshine and lots of great cars ( Porsches, McLarens, Ferraris). My student had a Maserati GT (Ferrari V8) and he did very well. I even got to take a couple of laps at the wheel.

 

Good stuff! Thx
