Well, I got around to installing the tranny mount today. (flash)
It was pretty easy actually, except the bolt closest to the firewall is a pita.
You will need to support the transmission with a small jack.
Basically you need to remove the intake, the battery, and battery tray. Then you will have better access to remove the mount. Lining up all the bolts seemed to be a little tricky on my car. We needed to jack the tranny up and down a bit line everything up.
Anyway, we got it all in and fired up the car, and I noticed an immediate increase in vibration. Not in a bad way, though. I also have the awr front mount and passenger side inserts. Funny, it does vibrate more when driving than it does when at idle. It also translates a lot more tranny noise up in the cabin. My friend and I both noticed it. Not a problem for me, but I can see where it may annoy certain people. Although it does vibrate quite a bit, I'd say the rear mount vibrates more than this. My other friends car was insane compared to this...he had passenger side inserts, front and rear mounts. I'm sure it will get worked in and soften up a little as time passes.
Any way here are some pics...

All done and ready for some vibration! lol
