Default help. new trans mount and now all hell breaks loose!

ok so i wasnt happy with the play i was getting in the shifter under heavy acceleration so i bought a prothane trans mount. now i have the worst vibrations through the whole car. it feels like i am running on 6 cyl's. anyone know what could be wrong? i am not getting any ses codes. the trans feels real solid, but the rest feels like garbage! HELP please. i had somebody at a local shop do the install for me. i am going to check it out tonight. any insight would be great.

I just installed an ES mount yesterday and my car vibrates alot also.The car got alot louder too which I don't mind but the vibation I could do without. I guess it's normal.

on inspecting tonight the motor mount on the driver side shows a smaller and a larger split. could this be some of the culprit. i really am looking for some kind of a solution if its out there.

with poly mounts the car will shake more because they are stiffer, not soft rubber to absorb
