98 996 c2 tiptronic transmission mount

[l9ups]

hi all, i am having a little trouble with locating the correct transmission mount for my tiptronic 996, i have searched but no definate answers for my model, the later mercedes transmission has the complete bracket, does mine need to be pressed out and also which mount do i use and where to get if from? any help would be much appreciated

Hi there, from the pics in the parts catalog the TIP and Manual uses the same mount if it is pressed in, and here is the DIY thread on the subject where I pressed a new mount into my trans:

so would i be right in assuming that both the man and tip mount is the same item??

As far as I can tell from the pictures in the porsche parts catalog, yes they are the same - but sometimes those are just representative.

There was a similar question in that earlier thread but it remains unanswered. You might have luck searching more.

It's pretty easy to tell if you have your car up on jacks/lift/ramp, you might have to remove one underbody panel with some plastic nuts, but then it is easy to peel/bend back the covers to see the mount and it's condition.

Alternatively you could call a dealer to get the proper part number.

i think those piks are generic they appear identical im pretty sure the tip and man cases are different, thanks for your help buddy il keep searching i spoke to my local parts dealer who said they didnt have a listing which was great help, il try calling the service department and try them, i would say they are fairly worn my car has done 166k and the engine mount were split which i have changed but still not happy with the smoothness idle cheers

Take a look at this and this. For your MY it looks like the same mount to me.
