The earlier (pre-86) 915 transmission in the 911 Carrera used the same mounts that are used for the engine. The later cars with their Getrag G50 used a cross bar to support the nose of the transaxle and it had pressed in bushings that were not replaceable. The original idea was you would replace the whole bar, which these days is either unavailable, or over US$2,000 or you buy one used. Or you buy a press for a tick over $100, and new bushes for about $150 and go have a car
