poly trans mount vibrates soooooo bad
idk if its just the energy suspension brand but I just replaced my stock trans mount with a poly 1 and it vibrates the car horribly if anyone wants to switch I highly reccomend not to

I'd take the extra vibration over the "shifter moves x inches over" stock mount. It only shifts more as your engine mounts age and you start to make more power with mods. I get a wicked vibration thanks to my 112 LSA and slightly lumpy idle. No major chop, but still vibrates the stick enough for some of my friends to wonder if my car is running right... which I slam their heads back with a clutch dump and release to get them to nod their heads yes as the answer (which may cause whiplash, so do this only to good friends that won't sue lol)

They are actually working an a revised design right now. I am one of the test subjects.
Pm djalkyd, he is from energy suspention. I'm sure he would like to hear from you. You may even end up with some test parts from it. You can tell him I said to pm him.

FWIW, I installed a set of poly (Prothane) motor mounts, and running those virtually eliminated the vibrations I used to have because of the poly (ES) trans mount on its own!
I've heard others make this claim as well, but didn't believe it until I tried it. What I'm inclined to say is, run ALL poly, or ALL rubber. OR, just live with the vibrations from having just the poly trans mount?

I also put my Lingenfelter aluminum driveshaft back in. I took it out, because the additional height of the preload plate raised the tail shaft of the tranny, possibly causing an interference problem with the driveshaft and the e-brake cable retainer, which is up in the driveshaft tunnel. (the LPE driveshaft is quite a bit larger in OD over the OE steel unit)
I will say that there's also a possibility that I had the pinion angle a little off, which also might have contributed to the clearance problem, but the quick test drive I took yesterday didn't include the one, big dip on the freeway, where this problem occured.
