Immediately after starting the car, i noticed the motor stopped rocking back and fourth...As i drove out of the driveway, i didnt notice any more vibation in the car than with the stockers...Taking off from an intersection, the car is more responsive to clutch movement, and overall i would recommend them to anyone looking to stop that side to side wobble in your M6 shifter...

i just did poly motor mounts.
you dont have to remove the AC, Alt or steering shaft, atleast i didnt anyway.
i just unbolted the entire motor mount assembly, cast iron pedestal and clamshell all in one. (8 bolts, 4 13MM and 4 15mm). one side at a time to keep the alignment/assembly in check. its a little tricky, no big deal tho.
take it all out, unbolt the large 18mm bolt and then seperate the clamshell rivets. then bolt it back together and reinstall.
when you put it back in, make sure the 18mm bolt slide thru from the rear off the car with the 18mm nut towards the front. this will allow you to pull out that bolt at a later date if needed without having to take the entire assembly out again or AC/Alt.!
