Default i don't trust myself quite enough to do this, but i really appreciate the writeup

especially the bumper removal... would you say that's fairly straightforward? basically just seems like you have to remove a few bolts here and there...

Default Do you have a 6-speed or a Tip?....m...

I thought you had a tip. I figured that with an automatic, the intervention of the torque converter on shifts would substantially limit the effectiveness of the snub mount. I'm glad I was proven wrong, given the effort it took to install everything.

Congrats!

Default More Feedback...

After last night's test run (about 15 minutes) and this morning's drive into work (50 minutes), here are some comments, observations and recommendations:

Comments:
The results are amazing by just spending less than $45.

Observations & Feedback:
Let me count the ways:
1. For my 1.5 year old B6 and 30k miles, I was experiencing some suddering during hard acceleration while shifting...
Also, if I choose to drive hard and sloppy, shock of the driveline slamming is evident as even hurts just to say it...
To combat this, I resorted to slipping the clutch and really more to feather and ease the suddering...This option is not always good in that clutch pad replacment is not cheap (not sure on teh waranty coverage on this).
I at first thought that my clutch needed adjustment but was I WRONG.

Now, the car shifts very positive w/ NO SHUDDERING OR SHOCK whatsover. Just very smooth shifting with just the right amount of driveline dampening.

2. Spirited driving is that more pleasurable. Shifts are positive and my NeuSS is much more enjoyable...As if I am more engaged w/ the drivetrain.

3. Another observation and I have not heard this from others, maybe only evident on 3.0ers 'cause the engine is mounted and configured differently than the 1.8Ters...
During cornering, the car feels more stable w/o plowing as much...
My only thought is that w/ the stock snub, the engine was free to throw itself into the curve more as w/ the new snub, the engine is more planted into place w/ no slop or roll of the engine.
Just my thoughts though on why.

4. Lastly and don't flame me for this...
I know that most here have driven Japanese Cars, especially mid to higher end cars w/manual transmissions. I love how most of the drive trains feel very solid, positive w/no slop.
I felt this bliss driving the new 350z & the G35 Coupe and even also felt this on the IS300...Very smooth delivery of power was my thoughts.
Well now, I have that in my kraut mobile!!! Touche' to the Japs

Recommendation:
How ever you do it...Get One!
