Thanks Joe and gsmith,

No, I wasn't looking to do any mods, I just wanted to refresh my stock setup. I have all G50 components now and wanted to see if there were any newer developments to replacing the existing (pressed-in) rubber mounts.

According to an answer I just received today from our hosts' support, only the PEL-RSRMTM is an option (poly-graphite). The other parts I got from searching what other methods folks were looking into. The other parts I listed are NLA or superseded and/or not applicable.

I found another thread where a guy pressed the old one out, so I was hoping someone made one that could be pressed back in. (kinda like the suspension bushings). I also didn't want to search for a used part, and while the Wevo mod is fine for many, it sounds like it's more appropriate for a sport setup (stiffer w/improved shift response, but poss. slightly higher cabin noise & vibe).

A change involving a weld demanded more of a certain commitment than I may understand or be ready for. so for now, if I refresh, I'll go with the 2 piece poly graphite kit, and if I don't like that, then I may commit to a sport setup.

Maybe it is stupid, but if the stock engine mount rubber (after pressed out of the housing) fits the trans mount rubber - and I have no dimensions yet - I wonder if that would be worth a try(?) This question has been posted before, but I never found an answer.
