Default sold motor mounts with solid transmission mount?

i have a C5 corvette M6. I have solid motor mounts. Im wanting to replace the transmission mount. I found both oem mount and a solid trans mount for roughly the same price. would you recommend the solid trans mount or the oem trans mount for use with my solid motor mounts? thanks

I don't think I'd use a solid trans mount ever in anything. From what I've seen, it leads to broken parts, like tailshaft housings.

Run the solid motor mounts with a poly trans mount. There has to be give somewhere and if there isnt then you will most likely break something. This setup will be plenty stiff.

A poly trans mount is horrible! I had one, and it was awful for vibration. Switched back to an OE rubber mount and couldn't be happier.
