I have been chatting with FUNCTION-FIRST Performance in the USA regarding their transmission mount inserts for the 964/993,996,997,991,986,987,981. models.
These inserts are $130US plus $23.50US shipping, they have kindly offered a forum group buy for 5 or more members and have offered a 15% discount which takes the price to $110.50US plus $15.50US shipping, which is just over £75 plus £10.60 approx shipping to the UK, this represents a great saving and looks like a fantastic upgrade for a great price.
Anyone interested in this offer please add your name so I can keep count and also PM me your email address so FUNCTION-FIRST can send you an invoice directly, when we have the correct number for the group buy. They accept payment through paypal amongst others.
PLEASE NOTE I will not send your email addresses out until we have the correct numbers and I will delete them after the group buy.

The OEM transmission mount was designed for ride comfort and is prone to sagging and tearing – above all, it is a detriment to performance. Its empty voids allow for too much transmission movement, resulting in sloppy handling, numbed responsiveness, and imprecise shifting. Racecars utilize a solid metal mount to mediate this, which is impractical for street use as it transfers extreme noise and vibration into the cabin.
So how do you achieve the benefits of a solid mount while retaining daily drivability? FUNCTION-FIRST Performance offers the only available effective and easy to install solution. Our durable urethane rubber insert simply slides in to fill and fortify the empty voids of the OEM mount, preventing premature bushing wear and undesirable transmission movement, all while transmitting minimal added noise and vibration.
The result? Handling is taut and predictable; power delivery is immediate and smooth; gear changes are crisp and confident.
Installation can be completed with basic hand tools in about one hour. Pressing out the stock transmission mount bushing is NOT necessary.
Choose between three hardness levels:
1. TRACK (80A) - for optimized performance on track and racecars
2. STREET (70A) - for added performance on street cars, with less NVH
3. SOFT (60A) - for daily drivability, to restore your OEM mount with minimal NVH
*The 964/993 AWD Inserts are only available in the TRACK hardness level, as there is no perceivable added NVH with this setup.
