According to Andy at ADE, stiffer trans mounts add a lot more vibration than motor mounts. |

This has definitely been my experience, albeit with different platforms. My autox E30 has poly engine mounts and RE rubber trans mounts. NVH is entirely streetable. Years ago, I installed UUC poly trans mounts on an E46 with stock engine mounts. NVH was horrible...buzz bomb city. I drove the car 4 blocks, turned around, and pulled them off. |
I think the Rogue trans mounts would be reasonable given their construction. I may still do that, but want to get a sense of what each one does with regard to NVH. The motor mounts seem critical to preventing the excessive engine movement which turns the charge pipe into a lever.
