I made a video on replacing the engine mounts with aftermarket semi-solid mounts on my 996 that I wanted to share:
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.

Let me know what you think. A couple issues I ran into were:
- having the engine drop a bit on one side and not being able to thread the new mount without jacking up the side with a second jack.
- spinning the square at the bottom of the mount out of position causing it to not sit in the mount hole properly

Thank you. Your video makes look so easy.
I will do this myself.
Would you mind sharing what engine mount you are installing and why you chose that instead of the stock rubber one?
thanks. It is easy compared to other maintenance jobs like spark plugs.
i used "Torque Solution" brand engine mounts with the polyurethane inserts. You can get them here:

I went with these mainly because i read decent reviews, low price, and preferred a bit firmer drive line. Check out my other video of my impressions driving after installation:

Just a helpful installation tip - It's a good idea to swap out 1 side at a time so that the engine does not move out of position too much. That will help ease assembling everything back together.
FYI, for ghetto semi-solid engine mounts:
-Drill hole in the top of a worn out stock mount
- flush out thoroughly with alcohol and allow to dry
- refill with 3M window weld and allow to cure
- reinstall and enjoy
I know it’s a hack, but for $25 it still accomplished the same thing. And while you are at it, you might as well fill in the gaps on your transmission mount to make it good as new.
If I remember correctly it’s hardness is around 60A shore. McMaster-Carr also carries flexible urethane in various hardnesses as well.
