just get cup car cables and it'll shift like crazy

blockhed, do you have the Cup cables in your car? How much $$? How does it feel compared to stock?

Tell us more where how much? Thanks.

Well I've got around 150 miles or so with the X73 motor mounts and I honestly can't tell much if a difference, nothing demonstrative. The shifting might seem slightly smoother and less notchy but I did change my gear oil at the same time as the motor mount install and that could play in to it. Additionally the mounts I replaced only had 8,500 miles on them so they certainly weren't worn out. I also do not notice any of the vibration at idle that some folks have reported.

YMMV

Was it a difficult job? How much?

The motor mount installation takes about twenty minutes. It is a really easy job with good access. It's a 1 or 2 on a 10 scale for a DIY'er.

My old mounts had 50K on them, so they might have been a bit worn. I actually have less vibration with the new ones.

Easy DIY. took about 30 minutes, but only because it was my first time. I could probably do it in 15 now that I know what I'm doing. The key is to have at least a 12" extension for your ratchet to get the bolt on the bottom of the mount. Also, don't don't forget to support the motor with a floor jack before removing the mounts. Do them one at a time.
