Default This may be a hard question to answer, but... Are new transmission mounts worth $150?

Since I'll have the transmission out any day now, I am debating about replacing them. I have had varied experience replacing rubber stuff on this car: the new snub mount was an astounding improvement, the new engine mounts smoothed out the idle a little, the sway bar bushings were undetectable, etc. So given the lack of symptoms indicating a problem with the trans mounts, is this something that I would notice an improvement from?

What is the source for snub mount? How hard to replace? What are the effects of replacement?

Default There are a few sources...

I got mine from ECS, it's made by APR. There is a cheaper, different one available from I think 034. It's a really simple install. It stiffened up shifting a *lot* by controlling engine movement. It may be that my original one was especially worn and others might not see such a dramatic improvement.
