When I purchased my 996 and had a check done on it one of the recommendations on it was for the gearbox mount to be replaced .....any idea of how much it should cost to fix on a Tiptronic?

When I purchased my 996 and had a check done on it one of the recommendations on it was for the gearbox mount to be replaced .....any idea of how much it should cost to fix on a Tiptronic?

Suggestion
If your original mount is shot then it needs replacing before you even consider the inserts.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

When I purchased my 996 and had a check done on it one of the recommendations on it was for the gearbox mount to be replaced .....any idea of how much it should cost to fix on a Tiptronic?
I very much doubt this is a job I could do myself as I only have a standard 2ton jack and stands so I'm thinking Porsche Indie.
Thanks Alex any videos/instructions that you know of... had a quick search but I couldn't find anything on this procedure. Changing engine mounts loads gearbox none :dont know:
This is the one for a tiptronic:

Sorry, I can't find any installation guides but I did mine on ramps on the drive and took 2 hours.
Hi
This is something I have had recently replaced on my 996 C4S tip.
I replaced the whole unit following its removal as part of replacing the transfer box gasket. As I understand it worn gear box mounts, allowing the transfer box to move and wear the gasket can be the cause of the transfer box gasket to fail.
Also had the rubber doughnut changed at the same time. All in all approx 1100.00
I did consider the rubber inserts but as the indie had everything off to replace the gasket I took the opportunity to replace the original mount.
Just worth pointing out guys that the Powerflex inserts are there to firm up the factory mount, not fix a knackered mount.
If your original mount is shot then it needs replacing before you even consider the inserts.
Thanks that makes sense the yellow inserts are just to support the original rubber mount....not completely replace it.
From the video I did find to replace the original mount you need a special tool to remove it and a press to put in the new rubber bushing thing.
I did mine last year, easy job. Purchased a new mount to save time as I didn't have a press.
£160 + vat inserted the yellow power flex, job done with no special tools.
I ordered the power flex before removing the mount, when I tried to put the inserts into my original mount they would not fit into the holes. I removed the mount and tried again with no luck and on closer inspection I could see the bushes were shot, so ordered a new mount with bushes and used the power flex inserts which slipped straight into place. The two rubbers at the ends will also be worn and the power flex inserts will replace the original parts and help support the bushes.
If you don't purchase the power flex inserts you will need to order Porsche rubber end stops.
This made a noticeable difference when driving and also cured the small gearbox oil leak I had.
Hope this helps.....
Thanks that's really helpful....saves me a lot of wasted time waiting for deliveries etc I will just buy the bracket and the Powerflex bits all at the same time.
Hi does anyone know the torque settings for the bolts involved in this job?
I've been struggling to find any information whatsoever on doing this job...downloaded the workshop manual and couldn't find any information in the Automatic Transmission section so where should I be looking?
Thanks as always for any info it's much appreciated by this enthusiastic beginner :lol:
