Anyone running solid transmission mounts on their G5MRs? I can get them made in a heartbeat but i don't know if it would be a bad idea, I can imagine it'd be really rough during engagement of the clutch but what would it do cruising?

It will do that. I used a solid one on the front of the engine (passenger side) with the 1.8L because of the space limitations. If your car never had rattle noises before, it will with a solid mount.Originally posted by FestYboy View Post

I solid both ft and rear mounts. If I have coins loose in the ash tray or in the bottom compartment, it makes nois. Other wise I dont even notice. Just to mention, I used that window sealant so it has very little movment. I did it for clearence reasons also.DV8 1 :twisted:

So they aren't solid or they are? Because if there is any type of rubber isolator between the transmission and frame that isn't solid.Originally posted by No Pstns View PostCurrent cars:

It's not a Festiva, but I drove a Mustang with solid mounts once. It was like riding a paint shaker.Festiva: Because even my dog can build a Honda.

LMAO @ "paint shaker"! :mrgreen:
A good compromise (on Mustangs anyway) is to use Poly mounts instead of solids. It helps tone it down a little bit. I've been contemplating how hard it would be to make poly bushings for the Mazda motors.Comment

I've been trying to locate the stock rubber mounts so I can have some dampening because in my stupidity I sent the auto ones with the transmission. The junkyards here suck though because they don't generally keep Festivas in the yard.Current cars:

its nice at about 100kmh (60mph) the worst speed for vibrating is 80kmh and its not that bad...
