it reduces driveline slack...

when you shift gears you engine driveline pushes forward then back. Well the stock mount that the driveline pushes against is a very soft rubber. When you upgrade the snub mount you put in a harder rubber, reducing the amount of lash. Basically imagine your transmission bouncing on a trampoline.. or a foam mat.
