Motor mount inserts
 
Are they worth the 35 bucks to have those "stiffer" insernt put into my stock crx si motor mounts? same thing with a short shifter and bushing for it....will it improve the shift feel alot?

I put those poly mount inserts in and it takes getting used to. It makes the car very buzzy and you can here all the rattles. Not to mention starting from a stop is a bit nerve racking if you are used to your plush launches. I took mine out before I installed my turbo but may get another set.

i've heard horror stories of those cheap-o short shifters where they break in half, lol

theres a dude on honda-tech that sells inserts for dirt cheap
i'm picking up motor inserts, shifter bushing kit, and rear saw bar kit bushings all for $40

I hate short shifters. I owned one of those cheap ones back in the day put it in it after I did my first sohc vtec swap and I started missing grinding gears. Some people like them but I destroyed a good si trans in 3 months it usually takes me atleast 9 months to get 3rd to grind with my stock shifter ;)

I'll check out that window weld for you, I have some mounts I'm going to do up and then sell on here, keep an eye out for those.

i used some polyeurethane tubes from osh hardware for about $3-5. one of the best upgrades imo. engine is solid, no more wheel hop. i did all 5 mounts and no shaking like some people say. stealthmode used the same and he will testify it's benefit.

Re:Motor mount inserts
 
I didn't use any inserts, just the window weld. It doesn't seeem to shake like everyone says. :-\
I'll be parting my car out soon which will include those mounts and a b&m short shifter with bushings. ;)
