I'm looking for a more solid of motor mounts, if anything just for a better feel of the motor and car. Does anyone make them?

I'd like an affordable set to take out the drive lash... I'm thinking of installing the ES kit, but there are not engine mounts in that kit.

Do you have any more details or a post you can point us to?

I have an idea that some of the gear crunching I get in 2nd and 4th is due to drivetrain shifting around under certain load directions. I seem to only get a grind in those two gears while under hard acceleration around right hand turns. This usually happenes to me at the track going into 4th. It's entirely possible that my shifting gets sloppy due to the lateral cornering forces. But I'd like to eliminate the possibility of the transaxle sliding around.

Basically buy the windo weld and fill in the gaps on the stock motor mounts. I did this to my Eclipse, and it was worth it.

Hmmm, I think I'd like to buy poly mounts if I could.

Does anyone know if the Evo mounts are the same as say a 2g? Cause I found mounts for a 2g, and if the mounts are the same, I think they'd be interchangable

Sorry, I was responding to propellerhead, since he asked about the windo weld. It does work, though. If you can't find any motor mounts, this is a good solution.

I have done this to several DSM's and this method works wonders.

Anyone know where to get the Ralliart motor mounts? I would like a nice clean set of polyurethane mounts/inserts. I'm not too hot on the window goop solution. I had some nice mounts for my DSM that worked wonders, although the ensuing felt vibrations in the cab were sort of annoying.
