The top portion of this statement is just not true regarding RS mounts...
Lots of good things said about the goldenrod sold by FD Motorsports, and its rubber, not plastic that is eliminated in the change.
I would see about renewing the trans fluid as a first course of action. (Mobil1 Delvac) I believe is what is being strongly recommended.
You have a low mileage car, so the shift rod rubber mount portion may not be worn due to use, but possibly from age. Personally speaking, I dont see this as the likely suspect. Same can be said for the motor mounts, but less likely age or use related.

I can try the Mobil1 Delvac, but many of you swear Redline 75-90 NS is the best thing since sliced bread ;-)

The only comparison pictures are old removed mounts with tons of sag next to new mounts with zero sag. There's a ton of misinformation online about what they "should" look like, the consensus says there shouldn't be any sag, that if you can fit your finger in the space the mounts are shot, the height of the exhaust tips, etc. This is clearly not the case.
