ok I feel kinda dumb asking this but....

ok I am assuming that the hard plastic part goes against the top of the trans mount ear and then the rectangle metal plate rests in the groove in the top of the hard plastic peice that would then bolt to the car ... stop if I am wrong here ..... but the under side I am reusing any of the old hardware like one of those funky dished pieces that are on the bottom w/ the orginal mounts ?

In my opinion, if you solidly mount the transmission ears, you had better also solid mount the engine, or you will risk breaking the trans mount ears off.

I have been running with solid engine and trans mounts for the past 19 years (track and street). There is no excessive vibration. In fact passengers don't notice anything unusual. Solid mounts may transmit more noise, but not vibrations.

The shifting is significantly improved when the engine and transmission stay in a fixed location.
