I know you didn't ask, but I just have to throw in, I love poly engine mounts and hate poly trans bushings. But the trans bushing isnt expensive and its not hard to swap.. so never mind

+2 for poly engine mount, and rubber transmission mount. If you drive your car a lot you will not want a polyurethane transmission mount.
I went with Prothane, they make a good product.

you will benefit if your shifter moves 2 inches to the right everytime you get on the throttle with the rubber. That's why I switched.

the shifter moves because the stock torque arm attaches to the transmission tail shaft. generally its best to fix the problem (the torque arm) rather than trying to cover up the symptom (the moving shifter). but if the trade off works for you, good. like i originally said, trans mounts are cheap and easy. try it and see

Prothane motor and trans mounts are what I used in the bird. Really stiffened up the drivetrain. Highly recommended. Shifts were more positive and consistant, and movement was quelled. Noticeable vibration at first, but after I got used to it I couldn't even tell something was different. When you go prothane, anything else feels like moving through peanut butter.
