What This Product Does
The mounts connect the transmission assembly to its supporting structure, carrying the gearbox while cushioning vibration and accommodating drivetrain loads. Their hydraulic construction provides damping without the active adjustment associated with dynamic mounts.
Functions
- Support the gearbox at its mounting points.
- Limit unwanted transmission movement under load.
- Isolate drivetrain vibration from the body.
- Help maintain the position of the transmission assembly.
Technical Details
- Supplied quantity: two hydraulic gearbox mounts.
- Mount reference: 98137504902.
- Specification: non-dynamic, without PADM.
- Internal diagram application notation: PR:-140.
- Diagram quantity: two mounts in each listed assembly.
Symptoms of Fault
- Knocking or a thump as drive is taken up.
- Noticeably greater vibration inside the vehicle.
- Excessive movement of the transmission assembly.
- Less consistent gearshift feel.
- Split rubber, a sagging mount or visible hydraulic leakage.
These observations are inspection prompts rather than proof of mount failure. Clutch, linkage and internal gearbox faults can produce overlapping symptoms.
Why Replacement Matters
Deteriorated mounts can allow the gearbox to move beyond its intended position, transferring vibration and placing additional strain on nearby connections. Renewing a worn pair addresses both transmission support points together. Inspect the brackets, fasteners and other drivetrain mounts during the repair; additional installation hardware is not confirmed as part of this set.
FAQs
Is this set suitable for dynamic PADM mounts?
No. The supplied application specifies vehicles without Dynamic engine mount (PADM).
Will replacement mounts resolve gear crunching?
Not necessarily. Clutch operation and gearbox internals require separate diagnosis; mounts should be checked for excessive movement and deterioration.
Are fitting bolts included?
Only the two hydraulic mounts are confirmed. Establish which fasteners are required before beginning installation.

Diagram ref no 1
The engine suspension bracket provides a solid mounting point between the engine and the vehicle’s support structure. It helps hold the engine in the correct position while allowing the engine mounts to absorb vibration, movement, and load changes during acceleration, braking, and cornering.
Functions
• Supports and secures the engine mounting system
• Helps keep the engine correctly positioned in the chassis
• Provides a mounting point for engine suspension components
• Assists vibration and movement control through the engine mount assembly
• Supports drivetrain stability during driving
• Replaces cracked, bent, corroded, or damaged original brackets
• OE Match replacement for engine mount or drivetrain repair work
Why Replace This Part?
Engine suspension brackets can become damaged from impact, corrosion, stress, or wear around the mounting points. A damaged bracket may allow excessive engine movement, vibration, knocking, or poor alignment of related drivetrain components. Replacing the bracket helps restore correct engine support and reliable drivetrain fitment.
When to Replace This Part
• The engine bracket is cracked, bent, corroded, or damaged
• There is excessive engine movement or vibration
• Knocking or clunking is heard during acceleration or gear changes
• Engine mounts or support components are being replaced
• The engine has been removed or refitted
• Accident or underside impact damage has affected the mounting area
• Drivetrain alignment or mounting security needs to be restored
Where it fits on the car
This bracket fits in the engine mounting / engine suspension assembly on Porsche 981 Boxster and 981C Cayman models. It is installed in the rear engine bay area as part of the engine support structure, depending on the vehicle’s engine and mount layout.

Check fitment for your specific vehicle (model, year, engine) before ordering.
Diagram: 306-000, item 7 (Boxster / Cayman); item 4 (Cayman GT4).
What This Product Does
The mount connects the gearbox to its supporting structure, holding the transmission in position while damping vibration and allowing controlled movement under load. It works with the other powertrain mounts to maintain drivetrain alignment.
Functions
- Supports the transmission at its mounting point.
- Limits unwanted gearbox movement during changes in load.
- Isolates drivetrain vibration from the vehicle structure.
- Helps maintain alignment of connected drivetrain components.
Technical Details
- Part number: 98137504902.
- Brand: OE Match.
- Hydraulic, non-dynamic gearbox mounting.
- Internal diagram application code: PR:-140.
- Diagram quantity: two mounts per vehicle; this identifies the assembly requirement, not a supplied pair.
- Diagram applications include 981 Boxster / Boxster S 2012–16, 981C Cayman / Cayman S 2014–16 and 981C Cayman GT4 2016.
Symptoms of Fault
- A knock or thud as drive is taken up or released.
- More vibration felt inside the cabin.
- Excessive powertrain movement or an unsettled gearshift feel.
- Visible cracking, sagging or collapse of the mount.
- Fluid seepage from a deteriorated hydraulic mounting.
Why Replacement Matters
A worn mounting may no longer support the gearbox or damp movement as intended. Renewing a confirmed faulty mount addresses that loss of support and helps limit movement that can load adjacent connections. Inspect the remaining mounts, brackets and fasteners during the repair, rather than assuming every vibration or shifting concern originates here. OE Match focuses on replacement components for Porsche applications, with specification and fitment assessment forming part of its development process.
FAQs
- Is this the dynamic PADM version?
No. The supplied application specifies vehicles without dynamic engine mounting. - Will replacement resolve grinding during shifts?
Not necessarily. Clutch, linkage or internal transmission wear can cause similar complaints and needs separate diagnosis. - Should both gearbox mounts be inspected?
Yes. The diagrams show two mounting positions, so assess both mounts and their supporting hardware when planning the repair.

OEMatch Engine Mounts — Durability, Sealing, Performance
Engine mounts secure the engine to the chassis while damping vibration and maintaining drivetrain alignment. For Porsche models, OEMatch Engine Mounts are selected to restore stability and reduce transmitted vibration, helping to preserve handling precision and protect connected components during everyday and spirited use.
Available Types
- High-grade rubber engine mounts
- Performance polyurethane mounts
- Reinforced composite mounts
- Hydraulic or fluid-filled mounts where specified by model
Understanding OEMatch Engine Mounts
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original engine mounts.
OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the engine mounts and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM engine mounts engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models.
Engine mounts hold the engine and transmission in the correct position while isolating vibration from the cabin and drivetrain. Different constructions balance isolation and control: rubber absorbs vibration, polyurethane can offer firmer control, and reinforced composites aim to combine strength with damping. OEMatch focuses on engine-mount items selected for Porsche applications to support correct fit and function.
Benefits Include
- Restores drivetrain stability and precise engine positioning
- Reduces vibration and harshness for improved cabin comfort
- Protects hoses, wiring and exhaust connections from excess movement
Why Engine Mounts Wear and Fail
- Material fatigue from repeated heat cycling and age
- Oil or fluid contamination that softens rubber or polymer parts
- Excessive engine torque or vibration, especially on modified or high-mileage engines
- Corrosion or cracking in metal brackets and mounting hardware
The Importance of Replacing with OEMatch Engine Mounts
Replacing worn engine mounts maintains accurate engine positioning and reduces secondary stresses that can accelerate wear on hoses, wiring, exhaust connections and transmission mounts. Timely renewal helps preserve the handling balance and refinement expected from a Porsche and avoids secondary repairs caused by excessive engine movement.
Advantages
- Direct-fit replacements engineered to match original dimensions and tolerances
- Made to original-spec dimensions for consistent performance
- Compatible with factory systems and sensors where required by model
