You can't go wrong with the Prothanes. If you need motor mounts, GET THEM.

Got them installed today. I think it actaually vibrates less. Before the engine bounced around and the headers hit everything. it sounded terrible. I wouldent hesistate to get another set if I had to. I am still using the rubber trans mount though

If you read up on the trans mount you will find it to be hit or miss. some love it and others not so much. I hated it.

I went with the Prothane on the Trans, and never had an issue. Stopped my Viagra-like shifter from "rising to the occasion"

I must say after changing the motor mounts I now realize how bad they where. The car feels tighter.No more noises from headers beating around under the hood/car. Its one of them thing that you got used to and don't realize how bad they are until you fix it then i was like Damnnn. Ive been driving it like that for how long...LOL Its like a new car again.

As far as trans mounts go a poly trans mount will transfer a lot more NVH into the car interior shell; even with poly engine mounts. I'd suggest first getting the TA mount off the tail housing of the trans first, then just stick with the factory trans mount for minimal NVH transfer since then the rubber mount is more than enough with the TA load removed from the trans.. Now if you just need a new trans mount(NOW) then get a ES or Prothane mount since they're a lot less expensive/ and easier to find.
