BUT, you can install aftermarket mounts that can be installed without a press.

I'm glad you asked this question because I always read references to replacing the C2 mount with the "upgraded version" you specified, but all my research indicates the upgraded mount is for the TT and will not fit the C2 before MY2005 and then only the
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.

Transmission carrier question.
My car 2004 40th AE has 68k miles on it and I will be installing RSS engine mounts this month. I started thinking I should do transmission mount at same time so I picked up some Function First (yellow) inserts.
Now, my question is should I just install the FF1 inserts into my old 996 transmission mount carrier or pick up the new upgraded 997 part (997.375.033.03) and install the FF1 into that? I see that the 997 part is only about $200.00 which in the scheme of things is not that big of a deal.
The Carrera (manual transmission) models don't utilize a removable trans mount carrier like the Turbo/GT models. The trans mount bushing is pressed into the transmission housing, so it's not something that can just be unbolted.

Tiptronic
.
So let's settle this once and for all - If anyone has actually installed this mount on a 996 C2 manual transmission please respond with your experience.
Really it's on Suncoast Porsche as a C2 996/997 part 997.375.033.03 and looks like replaces the whole carrier assembly
http://www.suncoastparts.com/product..._Code=996Trans
The carrier type assemblies (as linked to in above post on Suncoast) are only utilized on 996/997 Turbo/GT (non-PDK) and 996.2/997.1 Carrera Tiptronic models.
.........and if you plan on replacing your mount with the correct 996 # you will need to remove your transmission. To get the new one in you will need a shop press.
Sneaky Pete,
If you refer to the rubber bit, I can't find any entry for it in the 996 parts catalog. Are you sure it's available as a separate P/N?
Fabrice
you don't have to drop the tranny. It's so much easier but not absolutely needed. The tranny moutn housing is aluminum. It can be "tapped" out. After it's "tapped" out, you cannot put a oem mount in as that HAS to be pressed in. BUT, you can install aftermarket mounts that can be installed without a press.
That's what I did...there's a few aftermarket mounts available
If that's the
Wevo Boxter transmission mount
please confirm that you installed it in your 996 transmission and it fit. I contacted Wevo and they said it was not designed for the 996 tranny and they could not say if nor would they guarantee it would fit in a 996.
I'd love to install one but I have yet to read of someone's first-hand account of actually installing it - it's always "someone said it would fit" or they read it would fit but never, "I installed it and it fit".
that picture is the one I took over a year ago...it is indeed a wevo product...cheetah is another brand that i was considering but i chose wevo.
i have it installed on my 996 C2. It's been a full year now with it and have logged 15k miles on it with the wevo tranny mount.
Dealer installed a new mount for me under CPO warranty. Needed to drop transmission press out old and press in new mount. Took them a while b/c they didn't have the proper tool and had to order it.
i must have used the term "tapped" too loosely....my shop did it...sort of like how you removed yours.
Tranny lowered a little and supported with one person stablizing/holding the tranny, the rubber portion cut out and the alum housing grooved/dremeled/sawed and chiseled/tapped out. Of course the it came out crumpled/damaged
