Engine / Gearbox Mounts

Porsche Engine & Gearbox Mounts - Performance Drivetrain Control Upgrades

Engine and Gearbox Mounts are critical drivetrain components that secure the engine and transmission to the chassis while managing torque reaction, vibration, and movement. In performance-focused or higher-mileage Porsche vehicles, upgraded mounts help maintain correct drivetrain alignment, improve power delivery, and protect surrounding components under load.

Available from Design911, this range of Porsche engine mounts and gearbox mounts is designed for tuned, track-driven, and enthusiast-owned vehicles where improved control and durability are essential.

What Do Engine & Gearbox Mounts Do?

Engine and gearbox mounts stabilise the drivetrain while isolating vibration from the cabin.

Core Functions:

• Secure the engine and gearbox to the chassis.
• Control drivetrain movement during acceleration and braking.
• Absorb vibration and torque reaction.
• Maintain correct driveline and exhaust alignment.
• Improve throttle response and gear shift precision.

High-quality mounts are essential for consistent performance and long-term reliability.

Why Do Engine & Gearbox Mounts Fail?

Standard factory mounts are designed for comfort and daily driving, and can deteriorate over time or under increased load. Common failure causes include:

• Rubber degradation from heat and age.
• Excessive torque from tuned or modified engines.
• Repeated high-load acceleration and hard gear changes.
• Track use or aggressive driving.
• Oil contamination causing mount softening or collapse.

When mounts fail, excessive engine movement can lead to poor shifting, drivetrain knock, exhaust stress, and accelerated wear of engine components.

Why Upgrade Engine & Gearbox Mounts?

Upgraded performance mounts are designed to handle higher loads while maintaining drivetrain control.

Upgrade Benefits:

• Reduced engine and gearbox movement under load.
• Improved drivetrain alignment and stability.
• More precise gear changes and throttle response.
• Increased reliability for tuned and track-driven engines.
• Longer service life compared to standard rubber mounts.

Upgrading mounts helps protect the drivetrain while enhancing driver confidence and vehicle responsiveness.
