The mounts noticeably helped. Probably would not want to use them in sub-zero winter areas because as they stiffen, they would allow too much vibration. This vibration, in cold weather, is only noticeable for a minute or two. Shifting engages more positively and engine does not move around much anymore at full throttle.
Simple install: remove one bolt, loosen a second bolt, pop in two inserts, and retighten.
