revshift trans insert before/after Before
After
Installed
Pretty pleased with the product, especially for the price.
On another note... I also ordered the motor mounts, however i didnt install it the same day. I now feel what feels like my flex-disk rubbing on my tunnel pretty hard under heavy acceleration.. Im assuming its because of my motor mounts are shot..

I had heard one time that it is not good to have a stiff mount on the trans with squishy (or stock) mounts on the engine since it causes stress on the tail housing and could possibly lead to it breaking.
I know it was a shop that told me this but I can't remember who. They advised the motor mounts need stiffened up before any trans mount were to be installed. You can tell me to pound sand but just passing some info on that hopefully would help you not break stuff and enjoy your car!

Im going to do my motor mounts this weekend.. really had zero time to do it that particular day. It definitely feels ugly right now... thats for sure; no idea my motor mounts were THAT bad until after installing this trans mount insert.

I hope motor mounts help it out! I am sure they will. I have CS mounts and shields and a CS tranny mount. But I also picked up a revshift insert for cheap that I have been waiting to throw under there just to see the difference in height, feel, noise, performance gains/losses. For as cheap as I got it I will compare the two at some point.
Motor mounts made my car feel so much better

jus did my motor mounts yesterday, and ofcourse the flex disk doesnt rub anymore.
Car feels great with the new MM's and Trans mount.
Installing them was very methodical but easy none the less with a second person helping you out.
I had to remove both my long tube headers, which was the easiest thing in the world to do.. (also coil packs and wires)
drop the starter
remove the oil pan dipstick
undo the motor mount bolts
use jack to lift up on the engine
remove busted motor mount.. take out the broken one, replaced it with the new one. The new one weighed considerably less than the oem motor mount. Mine seeped out some ugly gross oil liquid, so keep some diapers handy.
The driver side motor mount was alot harder, but not impossible.
It required a 3' extension for one of the bolts, have to get to it from the top of the engine bay as opposed to under neath it.
Took us around 4-4.5 hours from start to finish.
