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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've noticed that some aftermarket transmission mounts for the 996 also reference it as a part for the 986/987 engine mounts (ie. Rennline HD Transmission & Engine Mount). Does this mean I can essentially use a 986/987 engine mount as a transmission mount in my 996? ONly reason I'm asking is that the OEM Porsche part for the 986/987 engine mount is cheaper than the 996 engine mount. For clarity, this is in regards to the rubber bushing enclosed in a metal sleeve that needs to be pressed into the transmission assembly. Thanks!

POST 2Original post

re-read... disregard first post.. if part numbers interchange in the aftermarket then the part should physically fit, although durometer of factory parts may be an issue

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ah, thanks for the reply.. The OEM part numbers do not interchange which lead me to inquire. But I think you're correct in that the durometer is probably different.

I do know the Boxster mount is pretty flexible, can't remember how soft the Carrera mount is (might have one at shop to 'compare')
