Lower Engine Mounts

My shift had been becoming a bit clunky again and I have been looking at my lower engine mount. I’ve had a yellow Powerflex insert in for a while.

As an experiment, I removed the insert and found that the shifts instantly became smoother. That said, the engine is clearly moving around more and I am getting more axle tramp than before.

I am wondering what the options are here.

Thoughts?

I think the best answer is to replace the entire bush with OEM or aftermarket, but honestly having just had the subframe down to replace the arms I am not in the mood to do that again. I could however be tempted to try another insert.

Is yellow Powerflex too soft? Or too hard? I’ve also seen metal inserts. Really have no idea, other than that the shifts are a bit smoother with it removed.

I replaced mine with  the vwr racing line bottom mount and 034 top mount

Super-pro dog bone insert is good and cheap

Thanks guys. Yep, pretty much convinced that replacing the entire bush is the way to go, just not right now.
