MN Torque arm insert
I posted this under another thread, but I am so impressed with its performance that I have to create it's own thread.
I have a '13 Paceman manual, JCW. Like a lot of you, I was complaining (privately) with the clutch, first gear take-off, stalling out, feeling like I was learning to drive a clutch for the first time, every time, I got in the car.
I installed the NM Torque Arm Insert and and this is a whole new car. It was a little bit of a pain to get the torque arm back into place but it still only took me 15 min. I highly recommend putting this in. For all you guys (girls) out there complaining of the same stuff, this definitely improved the overall driving experience. It just takes off with much more power and a lot quicker response.

I added one last night to my 2016 JCW CM manual and it made the car way more connected feeling

Looks like NM doesn't make them for the F series yet, but someone else may. My CM motor moved about about 3" back for forward before the motor mount inserts

2nd Gear
I just installed this about 15 minutes ago. It was super easy. My bolts weren't seized and the arm swung down and back up easily. All told, it took about 15 minutes and some of that time was just getting the car up on ramps and getting the tools out.
Backed it out and back into the garage and no additional vibration that I can tell. I'll report back later this week after I've had the chance to do more driving.
The inserts now come with a metal bracket to help keep them from coming out.
