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:

Thank you very much, I truly appreciate it. I don't know how to describe it but it's as if you can feel the engine buck, the mount needs replacement, if the clutch does too than so be it, I own my 1998, I need to keep it as nice as I can.
