I could downshift okay. My issue was the dreaded buzzing vibration on the highway......It drove me nuts. For some reason it was hard to operate the clutch smoothly when reversing wihtout chattering. I didn't expect the mount to fix that, I thought maybe I had a clutch starting to go. I was wrong, it fixed a lot of little issues and it drives a whole bunch better.

I would rate the project a 4 out of 10 on the difficulty scale. The only hard part for me was moving the coolant hoses to the side. For some reason I couldn't understand how to undo the plastic clips from the mounts. The pictures on Pedro's site were fine, I just couldn't see it until I did it. Otherwise this was easy.

easiest mod is to use windshield urethane to stiffen a stock mount. You don't want to use a solid mount with modern engine electronics. You can actually set off your knock sensors which will pull timing and power on the car.
