Motor mounts and shifter bushings?

I know there's a couple of you out there. I was just wandering how much of a difference these mods made.The bushings in the shifter, I feel, could only help! The darn 6 speed gets SO notchy after awhile. Will this help remove some the sloppiness?As for the mounts, did it cause noticeable vibrations in the cabin?Thanks for the input guys!

I have the 5 spd though.

I have both in my GT. Big difference. Huge. Massive.There is more vibration, nothing excessive though...the mounts are amazing though. I went from having the torque brace to the mounts, so I can only imagine stock to mounts. Get them. Now.

I have the mounts. I love them. There is a little more vibration, but nothing I don't mind. Plus, it helps a ton with wheel hop. I barely get any, its great for hole shots.

How long did the install take?What kind of tools did you need?Does anyone have pics, or an electronic copy of directions

I installed them when I installed the turbo. For the rear, I had the exhaust mamifold out, so it was easy to get to. On the front, I removed the fan shroud to get to it. They weren't too hard, but like I said, I was shnging the exhaust manifold, so that made the rear easy.

I have the E.S. Motor Mounts and Brass Bushing and have to say it is a must for any GT owner. The mounts took about an hour and a half and the bushings took 15 minutes. The best $60.00 I have spent so far!!!!!! The bushing take alot of the notchiness away and the motor mount really make it easy to drive. It is not like trying to learn stick all over again.It is much easier with 2 people to do the mounts. There is some vibration, but I have heard that it dies down after a couple of weeks. If you are unhappy with the Vibes notchy feel and strange way to launch, GET THESE MODS!!!!!!!!!

ya i want some too. but i'll have to wait til i get my pfd. and probably just the shifter bushings since those look like something i can handle myself.

I concur with everyone else to comment....HUGE difference!Aside from cabin vibrations, which I don't even notice anymore, both mods have helped with the overall response of the car. Both mods give me a better "feel" of the engine, shifts, etc.

...Just bought a set of both. I'll give you my two cents when i get them in in about a month or so.

Finally got the bushings in (my car has been out of my posession). HUGE improvement and very quick and easy install. If you hate the way this car shifts, buy these. Seriously...right now. Go buy them.
