Is there any sings telling if motor mounts are wearing off?? Today I noticed my transmission is shaking really hard when I release the gas (loud turkey).

I had some sick vibrations and noises like a grinding sound coming from my tranny when i broke an engine mount so you might check 'em...

if your motor mounts are on their way out you will feel the engine moving when you shift gears....pop ur hood and have someone look at the engine, rev your car and he will tell you if the engine is moving a lot or not

If they are stock then change them. Just crawl under your car and have someone start it. That engine jumps all over the place it is absurd that Mazda did not put harder mounts in the MSP.
If you get a hard front mount it will help out in a big way. Mine are on order.
I can tell you from riding in several cars that the front hard mount does not affect the ride in any significant way. It does give you a butt tingle at very low RPMS but it is very slight.
Yes, I said "butt tingle" (whip) (glare) (whip)
