I suggest doing this mod if you havent already. All you do is rotate that top square motor mount in its braket to so when the motor pulls on the mount it pulls on the solid rubber portion instead of the open windows of the mount like in the stock posistion which allows like a 1/2" of flex.

Now spray some WD 40 around the whole diameter and both sides of the that rubber bushing on the bracket still on the car then take your ratchet and 15mm wrench and rotate both at the same ttime twoards the engine till that mount spins inside the bracket and the solid rubber section is facing front and rear and the open windows up and down. Reassemble and test it out.
