Engine/trans mounts, stock vs. comp
Engine and trans mounts probably need replacing, have a couple of questions.
-Racing Beat has the high-durometer Mazda Competition mounts for a little less than Mazdatrix's price on stock-stiffness replacements. How much harsher will the cabin vibrations be with the competition mounts?
-If I only replace the trans Y-blocks and not the crossmember/bushing, how negative an impact will that have?

I put mazdatrix y-comp mounts on and I didnt really notice much beside less pull on the shifter when holding it tight. I then replaced ALL my mounts with the mazdatrix comp mounts and I noticed a much more solid drive line. I daily drive it also with a no spring 6 puck clutch and its nice and easy to drive.
And for cabin vibrations nothing really unless you have a bad idle then you can kinda feel it shaking.

I do agree with staying the hell away from solid mounts though.

one thing I miss about my car when it was stock was how enjoyable the car was, I always caution people to error on the side of stock, puck clutches, very light flywheels, torque/engine braces, solid mounts- all ruin the car in my opinion
my car runs awesome, is smooth as far as power goes, but seems like so much more is squeeking these days and annoying me
