Introducing new 6speedonline site sponsor: FUNCTION-FIRST Performance





TRANSMISSION MOUNT INSERT
Fitment: 996/997.1 (997.2 version coming soon)

The OEM transmission mount was designed for ride comfort and is prone to sagging and tearing – above all, it is a detriment to performance. Its empty voids allow for too much transmission movement, resulting in sloppy handling, numbed responsiveness, and imprecise shifting. Racecars utilize a solid metal mount to mediate this, which is impractical for street use as it transfers extreme noise and vibration into the cabin.

So how do you achieve the benefits of a solid mount while retaining daily drivability? Function-First Performance offers the only available effective and easy to install solution. Our durable urethane rubber insert simply slides in to fill and fortify the empty voids of the OEM mount, preventing premature bushing wear and undesirable transmission movement, all while transmitting minimal added noise and vibration.

The result? Handling is taut and predictable; power delivery is immediate and smooth; gear changes are crisp and confident.


Installation can be completed with basic hand tools in about one hour. Dropping the transmission to press out the stock transmission mount bushing is NOT necessary, so you can easily return your car to stock condition when selling! Installation instructions are provided at the bottom of the product page.

Here are some recent reviews:

The mod is simple, quick, and inexpensive. The biggest improvement is the responsiveness of acceleration; the transmission has less play and flexes less so the power is transmitted to the wheels and there is less flex/rotate in the trans. Also the notchyness of the shifter is somewhat reduced.

Cabin noise is increased a little because there is less damping. Strange thing is that under 4000 rpms it sounds more like engine/exhaust feedback. Over 4000 it definitely sounds like transmission.

Wow! what a difference after installing the FFP trans inserts.

Last year I put in a new 997 shifter and cables with aftermarket urethane/aluminum engine mounts (I forget who's product). I hardly noticed the difference though the rear felt a little tighter in the turns I still had a somewhat rubbery feeling shifter especially going to 1st or 3rd gear. I was fairly disappointed.

I purchased the FFP inserts a week ago and installed a few days ago. What a change up. There is some added vibration and slight gear whine but frankly I find it pleasing. The biggest change was the quality of the shift, much much better and I have a lot more confidence in engaging 3rd in the heat of battle than bouncing off the synchro's. The car feels so much more solid.

Two thumbs up, I am one happy customer!!

Just picked up my inserts from the Post Office.
The quality looks great to me.
Thanks for the quick service to Canada!
Can't wait until March to install it when I bring my car out of winter storage.

 

Mine are on the way as well. Looking forward to getting them on.

 

We're looking forward to hearing about your results!

 

Looks good, how much shipping to the UK. Cheers

Nothing in the works for the 997.2??

 

997.2 version is under development - I will let everyone know once available.

Thanks!

 

I recently installed FFP's transmission inserts on my 997.1S. The shifts are much more crisp and direct. No rubbery feeling. All gears just feel solid; especially from 1-2-3-4, in my case.

NVH is definitely there. Since I also have RS engine mounts and LWFW, there's more flywheel noise and slightly more engine vibration than before after the installation of the inserts. It's is a tradeoff that I can live with, as I am rewarded with a crisper and more direct shifting sensation.

I would recommend this modification if you want a more connected and confident feeling with your shifter. Shifting is fun again .
