i was advised by Mike R ages ago to use vibra technics engine mounts but leave the gearbox mount STANDARD if you like to keep your fillings in the place

yep, engine mounts only and std g/b mount

edit: ps, would it not have been slightly obvious that you would get some noise/vibration in the car?

the originals are made of rubber for just thos reasons, so when you remove the damping values of rubber and replace it with solid metal, you are going to get the issues that you have

standard one mate as its alot better going into gear and feels better to me after driving them back to back! just have to live wi it thanks for the help
