Coverage and how to read this overview

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

Hi all, I'm curious if my front motor mount is going bad (some resistance to shifting), and maybe this is linked to it, but I'd like to confirm this isn't just a normal resonance in Boxster's. When engine braking, in ANY gear, from 2400-2300 rpms the car vibrates. In lower gears, it's enough to make some metal bits rattle a tad (i.e maybe a heat shield). I've seen this in other cars where it's a natural resonance that occurs under a very specific circumstance and is no big deal. Was wondering if that's the case in the boxster 2.5 liter, or if it's more than likely something resonating because it's loose. Thanks all

... the engine mount? What's your mileage. I've found that after 45,000 miles they crack and will give you weird vibrations. Here are the instructions to replace it yourself: http://www.pedrosgarage.com/Site_3/Install_Front_Engine_Mount.html Happy Boxstering, Pedro

I have the exact same vibration. although I have no shifting issues. I have not looked at my engine mount yet but I plan on doing it this winter....

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
