I'm super tired too. Ugh. On a happier note, I put a Group N transmission mount in the Fozzy and it's AWESOME. Makes me feel like I know how to shift again.

I stayed out until 2am on Satuday night. (Note: For old people like me, that is late) ;-)

How was the drive?

Nope, not at all! Which, considering how much more, and beefier the rubber in the Group N mount is was pleasantly surprising.

I had group N engine and transmission mounts. The transmission mount increased the amount of gear whine from the 6spd it was worth it. The engine mounts increased vibration slightly at idle a bit but again I felt it was worth it.

Interdasting.

There's a weird issue on my sti. I don't even really know if it's an "issue" or just me being really picky.

When going WOT, or shifting quick, or suddenly decelerating, it seems like there's a tiny bit more movement in the drivetrain than I think there should be. I looked at engine mounts, they're good. Dog bone is also good. Didn't look at trans mounts too much but I'm guessing they might be old or maybe torn or loose.

If I need to replace, I may as well upgrade, but I absolutely cannot tolerate increase nvh, so I'm really cautious about stiffer mounts.
