Today I replaced the worn out and leaking transmission mounts on my 1998 Porsche Boxster 986. I found a puddle of oil on the garage floor and I was getting some white smoke from the rear of the car when starting it. Turns out the hydraulic transmission mounts were leaking! Made a DIY tutorial of the removal and installation of new parts.
Project 36 from the 101 Projects for your Porsche Boxster book.

If you have replaced the transmission mounts did you use the same ones he did in the video? I have an 03 Boxster S as well with the tiptronic. Trying to triple check whatr mounts I need so I don't accidently order the wrong ones. Thanks for any possible help.

Great video and thanks for the information. I saw the leak on my 2001 boxster but didn't know the mounts were hydraulic. I took the engine cover off expecting to find a power steering fluid leak or clutch line leak just making it's way to the back of the car. Nope, hydraulic fluid from the mount....an hour later lol Note to self....just buy the mount with the bracket lol Thanks again for the method of removal.

Just a point of safety….Quick Jack recommends the use of “auxiliary safety stands” when using their equipment. Would suggest you mention this in using the jacks. Just received mine and pleased I read the Setup and Operation Manual. SAFETY FIRST!

+@chrisobradovits408 that’s some CYA on their part. The quick jack uses the jack stand locations on the Porsche.

@@HelpMeDIY I phoned and they suggest a stand, such as a drive up ramp under the tires. This would allow a significant backup measure. Yes, it is a CYA but likely have experienced someone not using the lift properly and it coming down. You can’t fix stupid so you’ve got to guard against it! Your video’s are great!!!

As you read in the Porsche Boxster Service Manual "do not remove nut.... destroys hydraulic mount". I can understand if you buy NEW 993 or 986 mounts and install them on a bracket but aren't the USED ones ruined since they were removed , possibly ruined. Hence why you may not have felt much difference on the movement on the bench test before you installed them? I'm not so sure this was a good application for used parts. They are probably deteriorated coming off a dismantled donor car or "ruined" when removed from the bracket. Great video Aaron.

My transmission mounts are very different looking than the ones I see on forums and RU-vid videos. The black triangle is held onto the gearbox mount by threaded studs, not the two bolts I see in the 101 Projects book and online. (Part #986.375.15400.) There is no bolt pattern or easy way to unscrew. Looking for suggestions and DIY tips. Thank you.

My 1999 boxter with 105 k on is for sure due for this. I wonder what the symptoms are when these start to go bad? When my car is cold and I shift I hear a metal bang but as soon car warms up it stops. Its not a gear or clutch sound, like something is moving

Help Me DIY Thank you for your reply. Because I found that the big bolt (literally the fastener B) of 993’s mount seems much longer than Boxster’s, so I’m wondering it will hit the struts or what if I just directly replace 993’s to a Boxster…. **I found that the price of 993’s OEM mount is much cheaper than Boxster’s 🤩

Being there is more than one way to do this I'll share how I did it on my 2010 Cayman. I used a tripod screw jack under the transaxle for the support part of the operation and then worked on one at a time. I broke loose (just) the 2 small top bolts on the rear subframe and then used a spline wrench to remove the big funky nut on the bottom. The factory mounts have that square portion on the stud shank to keep it from spinning. After that I removed the top bolts and installed the WEVO semisolid mounts to the subframe using a drop of blue Loctite on the bolt threads. I Torqued the top and then the bottom to spec; then on to the other mount. I never removed the brackets from the transaxle.

I have a small "clunk" sound when I accelerate a bit more aggressively from stop to go, and from 1st into 2nd gear (don't hear it when going up higher in the gears). The sound is coming from my passenger rear wheel area. Am I looking at the right video, is this most likely an issue with my transmission mount? (986 S year 2000 w. ~70K Miles.)
