It�s quite expensive doing it that way as the bushing is cheap and can be replaced in the old bracket rather than replacing the whole bracket/bushing assembly).

I'd like to work something out if I can before buying one that I may use once.

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.

Reach out to dporto� he had a trans tool that I rented from him and it worked great!
Afaik on the later cars the bushing was mounted to a bracket which you could unbolt and replace as an assembly. It�s quite expensive doing it that way as the bushing is cheap and can be replaced in the old bracket rather than replacing the whole bracket/bushing assembly).
You still need the tool though to get that bushing out but it is easier in the later cars as you can work on it mounted on a bench whereas the early cars don�t have a removable bracket. The bushing on early cars has to be replaced in place or the transmission dropped. I need the tool to do this as I�m not wanting to remove the trans.
Presume you mean you took the bracket to a machine shop to replace the bushing, as I�d be very surprised if a machine shop would have the tool or the facility to do it in-situ like mine requires.
The complete transmission mount for my 02 Tip was $249 from Suncoast Porsche. No special tools needed. I ordered it well before finding out the bushings were removable with a special tool. So if the special tool turns into a hassle to get there is the more expensive, but easier option.
@Texsquirrel
Would you be willing to rent it out? Houston is a long ways away from Wisconsin, would be a great road trip though.
I'd like to work something out if I can before buying one that I may use once.
Thanks in advance, Greg.
