BEST Torque Damper / Front Motor Mount Set-up
^^ i notice the same thing. the car was rougher stock with the a/c on too though. i have a powerflex front motor mount in my car for probably two years now. was a great mod as the car bucks a lot less in stop and go traffic, and generally shifts better than stock as well.
Blox front engine roll stopper is what you need. I have one and love it; very easy install too. Its a poly front bushing with billet aluminum mount. Check the "Vendor Announcements" section of this board for Speed Element's thread on them.

ok, so i ordered the BLOX front motor mount. after i install, i will give a review on how i like it / how it feels. i will also be getting an ingalls TD for the <---> motion... so, with that being said, thanks to all that gave feedback
if i get motivated this week i'll throw in my ams side and tranny mounts to go with my br shifter bushings and let you know how it is, still have a stock front one, haven't gotten around to ordering the replacement member yet...
i installed mines last night and the first thing i noticed is vibration in the steering wheel. the car seems to shift better also. but mostly i can feel the engine rev through the steering wheel. not bad and i like it. thats just my immediate first impressions and would recommend it to everyone if you are trying to tighten up engine slop.
I have a WR torque damper and the Blox front engine roll stopper, and to me it feels like a great set up. No too much vibration, but you can feel it in the steering wheel...

ok so i installed the motor mount this morning...
VERY EASY install... It only took me maybe 30 minutes to take my cross member off (breaker bar) and take the front motor mount completely off and swap it out with the BLOX motor mount...
NOTICES:
Interior:
Engine vibration is slightly noticed at slow take off
Shifting easy in high RPM
Steering wheel shakes at start up and rough engine spots
Exterior:
Exhaust note sounds a little different?
Overall:
Im very happy with it, and it was a very easy install... i would highly recommend buying this product.. easy install and great performance outcome

I have only the blox front engine mount in my car. Everything you described is the same with mine. After 10k miles, it feels like somebody put the stock mount back on. The vibrations are gone at start up. I had to check if the blox mount is loose and it's still holding. Vibration at slow take off is no longer there unless if you engage below 2k rpm. Shifting is much easier and I have not missed a gear under heavy throttle.
