Is there a way to check this? Or how would you recommend installing them (info for the masses!)?
I personally just used a jack lifted just enough under the back of the tranny to ensure that its weight would be supported when I removed the mount. Do not use the jack to lift the tranny up, but it should be extended up enough so that the transmission/motor doesnt move when the mount is removed. Correct or not so much?
FWIW, my NVH increased quite a bit, but nothing that I couldnt get used to. I really never notice now, until I take a ride in someone elses 'tour and Im like "dang this is smooth!" LOL.
It all boils down to what your willing to live with vs. performance benefits. If you never launch your car or dont know what wheelhop is, this isnt for you. Though if your willing to sacrifice a little vibration for no wheelhop, go for it. I dont launch my car that much (no money for a diff), but when I do, its so nice now not to have the horrible shakedown of wheelhop like I used to get. The NVH isnt anything you cant live with.
