Would the 80# mounts be comparable in performance to the aftermarket red poly bushings?

With a six-speed, I'm sure this would be a fantastic mod. I don't get much above 4,000 RPM in daily driving unless I'm truly giving it the beans, and at 130mph, luxury isn't at a premuim. A little extra engine vibration isn't going to detract from my permagrin much.

I do notice a bit of "clunkiness" in the 1-2 shift, seems as though the whole motor/trans has a lot of give to it. At 54,000 miles, I'm sure I'm past-due.
