Put 300+ HP through tired or stock mounts, they wind up pretty good. If you shift quickly enough, things are still more-or-less in the right/same place as they were last time.
Take too long finding the gear, and the mounts relax enough for the gate to move more than you might believe likely - like the width of a shift plane over. Then the stage is set for bad things to happen.
I note WEVO engine mounts - but no mention of trans mount. I run WEVO for both (blue on motor, black on trans); immediately/hugely obvious how much better controlled/much less weight moving around out back there is.
I've done a 4/1 shift instead of the intended 4/3 on a 930 with a very sloppy 915 and stock motor/trans mounts. Even without fully engaging clutch (eg zero top end damage), dropping a rod bolt was $$pendy.
Generally, would not recommend - although converting a running motor into a core is the perfect excuse to make it better...
