So for me, had I done it right when I got the car I would have kept it that way, but since I had already adjusted my clutch foot to the car, I opted to keep it stock after doing the mod.....

The CDV changes the timing in the engine, thus the change in sound.

I believe the 996 turbo uses a 964 engine case number....
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.

Was wondering about motor mounts, I'm pretty sure I need to replace mine so I need to get them soon. Anyhow, online I've only found either the stock mount and the OGracing solid mount. I don't want to rattle my teeth out so the solid mount is out of the question, I would like something in between, maybe a urethane mount? Are there any available anywhere? I street drive my car about once a week and go to the track about 20 to 30 times a year. Any ideas?
We have the hard rubber motor mounts and the RS motor mounts.
Both Porsche parts :

Nice, looks like exaclty what I want, I'm in Canada so with our low currency, the currency conversion makes it cost a lot, like well over $600 when shipped
I have the Wevo semi-solid with the softer pillow option (black) and I'm very happy with them. Others on this forum have installed them and not liked the increased vibrations but I personally don't think it's that bad.
They're priced pretty reasonably too.
Sweet thanks! I was thinking about pm'ing you on the mounts, haha
Have you replaced your transmission mount? Is it crucial? I'm getting a heavy shudder when I'm cruising at a low speed in third gear, give it a little bit of gas to keep up with bumper to bumper traffic, it kind of feels like I am jerking back and forth, I'm trying to figure out if it's the engine mount or tranny mount, either way I think I'm going to go with the wevo
It's a feature of driving 10mph with a manual transmission.
FWIW, there is a clutch delay switch on the 996 which can be disabled in about 10 seconds with some tape. It has the effect of making the throttle response nonlinear when the clutch has been pressed recently. There is an easy way to test out the difference when launching. The feature has a 4 second timeout and is disabled above 1800 rpm, so if you are at a light and want to try it without the nonlinearity, hold the clutch for 5 sec before pulling away. Then try it at the next light without pressing the clutch until you're ready to go (and keep the revs down). I tried taping the switch and it definitely made for more predictable throttle response when shifting. It also requires lifting off the gas a split second sooner when shifting into higher gears. Still, I'd gotten used to it the default way so removed the tape after a couple days and let it be. It's supposed to make shifting easier on the clutch or some such thing. Forgive my mangled description of its functionality.
There's a quick test to illustrate the effect. While stationary and in neutral, hold the revs steady at 1200 or so and press the clutch in. The revs will dip noticeably and the exhaust note will get ugly. With the switch defeated this does not occur.
They technically don't list their mounts for the 996 cars but lots of 996 and GT3 guys are using them. You have to source a longer bolt for the mount but they otherwise work perfectly fine. I was able to get the bolt I needed at my local Fastenall store.

I havn't touched my tranny mount...and honestly I think no matter what the transition from off throttle to on-throttle in these cars is a bit abrupt no matter what. Maybe the drive by wire cars are different but my throttle cable car still has pretty apparent transitions from off throttle to throttle applicaiton. There's certainly no slack left in the monuts though.
this "MOD" can be done in litterally 5 minutes and is completely reversible. (just tape the switch closed, instead of making a wire like the guy in post #38 did ...nice job BTW on the write up)
So for me, had I done it right when I got the car I would have kept it that way, but since I had already adjusted my clutch foot to the car, I opted to keep it stock after doing the mod.....
like I said, super easy to change and see if you like it for a day or two... or, go back
The 993 RS mounts shown in Gert's second link are available for $140 each from Sunset Porsche. You can probably use your existing mounting bolts (small ones).
I just installed a set in my 993 - so the invoice is within arm's reach.
Andreas
The 105mm bolt will work on the 993 but I don't think it works on the 996. You need the longer 125mm bolt for your 996.
900.082.118.09 M12 125mm bolt, locknut is the same
