Stiff shifts after Revshift Trans Insert Install

Hmm. I did notice that some gears were marginally notchier than before when I installed my mount, but that it got better over time (just as the vibration got better over time).
If this is the mount, you should note the same stiffness with the engine off.

Yeah the only thing I changed was the insert and that is exactly what I am getting also. Each shift is notchier than before. I will run it for a while and see if it gets better. Then onto fixing the sloppy side to side play. Any idea's?

I do have more drivetrain vibration transmitted during acceleration plus now I believe I have something rattling against the trans tunnel, again under load. Under the car again I go...
Overall I do really like the feel of the shifter with it in. I still have the stock (and slightly leaking) motor mounts so I wonder if those effect the results. Good motor mounts = good results with insert. Those with bad or worn mounts = not so great results. Thoughts?

Mine has a very slight increase in vibration but coming from a mustang before its not to bad. In the past few days mine has started getting easier to get into gears so I am not sure if I have adjusted my driving style or what. I like that it feels a little less like the car is 100% rubber and floating around. I would do the MM's if I were you it was prob the 1st mod I did. Overall I think the bigger issue is fixing the slop in the shifter and linkage which is the next step. Thanks again Fuzzy for the link above.

My theory is that, since all of the mounts in the CTS-V are made from the same rubber compound, degradation of all mounts occurs at the same rate. The only difference in the wear rate between different mounts is the stress your driving inflicts upon them.
We all know that the principal source of the gradually worsening shift quality of the CTS-V is the increasing misalignment of the drivetrain. Degradation of the rubber mounts, while occurring at largely the same rate, angles the mounted components at differing rates as a result of the different sizes of the mounts and their various mounting locations.
People that install the Revshift transmission mount and report excellent results (*points at self*) likely have aftermarket motor mounts or OEM mounts that are in great condition (*again points at self*). Conversely, the installation of a new mount in a car with OEM mounts that are in very poor condition may actually worsen the problem by misaligning a portion of the drivetrain even further.
