Anyone who has installed one please weigh in, I figure you support the engine and plug and play but again ant tips would be sweet..

I had my motor mount replaced on my 2001 at 58k miles, and it did help smooth out an annoying 3k rpms vibration I used to have when decelerating, but I never had any chattering in my clutch. The new motor mount had absolutely no effect on my clutch action, and it still feels exactly the same as it did before. I can see how a new mount would improve shift action, but not sure how it would affect your clutch takeup.
I also had a really annoying grinding noise when making turns under power, and the new motor mount fixed that. Apparently, the old mount was so worn that it upset the drivetrain geometry.
Here's a how to on changing the motor mount:
