Yeah, I just installed my CS inserts and I'd have to say they're pretty nice compared to inserts when I had my MSP. Barely any vibration taking off and with the A/C on, a little less wheel hop, shifter feels a little more smoother and less lash from the engine. Worth the $35. When installed, I just just take those 3 tranny mount bolts off. It's way easier and all you have to do is line up the holes but moving the tranny with your hand.

(corksport should see this message then send me mods for free...you are getting very sleepy..very sleepy) what ev. anyway this mod deffinatly made the car what it should be. im glad i got them and hopefully i have the same response with these twm shift bushings

...only if i dont let the car warm up at all on cold days. but its not a grind it just a....well idk how to explain it but it not grinding
So I a definetly not the only one who has this! I truly wonder what it is and if it is causing more damage?
I think I may know what you two are talking about. Over this winter when it got really cold outside, say less than 20 degress, I would be driving out of my neighborhood and while going over bumps it sounded like there was grinding going on. But it wasn't while was shifting, it almost sounded like it was coming from the shocks. It went away after maybe 5 minutes though.

my friends cars have trouble with second when its cold also so i dont worry about it. plus im at 700 miles so if the problem gets worse i have the warranty
wWell being here in florida we dont have to worry to much about the temp dropping, but early in the mornings I am just concerned that I may be causing some sort of damage. I typically let the car warm up for a couple of minutes but it just seems to continue happening.
Very brief Corksport MM insert review:
Installed them tonight, vibrations only very slightly noticeable. Not a huge issue to deal with at all. Shifting seems better and the car has a more solid feel to it. I do feel like going over bumps is a bit harder though, but that could be in my head too. All in all, very good $35 to spend.

I installed my corksport inserts this afternoon and I must say, it's definitely worth the money. At first I didn't really notice a difference (you're probably wondering why) but I let the car sit for a couple hours and I guess the inserts got a bit more settled in and I can definitely tell you that the shifting feel is much improved. I haven't tried launching the car to see if there is less wheel hop yet.
I didn't have any air tools just a socket wrench and it took a bit to get the bolts loose but after that it was a pretty basic install. I put the bolts on as tight as I could although I may check the tightness of them when I do my first oil change. So far I am very satisfied, the car should have felt like this to begin with.

Kind of, it depends if you want more comfort or rigidity. Are you willing to sacrifice comfort for less wheel hop? How often do you race?
I will be stopping by Corksport when their new batch of inserts arrive. I want some improvement when shifting, and on the road, I dont get too much hop at all, only when I race. It is my daily driver, so comfort over further improved shifting and less wheel hop.
I almost wouldnt mind having the dogbone with the delrin bushing for when I do race.

I have the SU Motor Mount and comfort is not an issue (very little vibs if any) and the shifting/ wheel hop was much improved. I would say it was $120bucks very well spent. Mine was $139.00 because I got the black one 
I know someone (boosting 20psi, etc) that broke the stock one so I guess that's one reason I went with the Full MM upgrade vice inserts.

That is what I'm running. You will like the change. Not too much vibration but much more solid feel.
Not at all really, just kind of blends in a little better.
