Who the hell told everyone to drop there subframe for rear mounts. I have a 08 tl type s. I went in from top. Took off strut bar and went in from top. No probs even put engine torque damper in that way

No. I didnt take ne pics while doing it. Just get a couple extensions. U will figure it out. Its not hard at all. Might have to move some vac lines and couple hoses out of way. Not unhook just move around. It was pretty easy for me. Work smarter not harder. Once u remove ur strut bar u will see how much room u really have

THREAD REVIVAL!
I have an 04 6MT. I have the engine torque damper and slave cylinder delay valve delete. For the most part I love how the car drives with these two mods, but sometimes I get a hard bang when shifting, as if the engine was hitting the firewall or something. I see no signs of this happening, but I'm wondering if a stiffer mount upgrade would relieve this? Since it's manual I'm not worried too much about vibrations at idle. Another question is would it be acceptable to just replace the rear engine mount with an Innovative poly mount?

Last I checked the mounts all looked fine. I replaced the upper trans mount not too long ago. The lower one looks old, but not like it's not working properly. By design that lower mount looks like it would rarely fail. I guess I'll re-check the engine mounts this weekend, as well as all of my control arm bushings. To properly get a look at the front and rear mounts, the covers on them have to be removed, correct?

Turned out to be a bad rear motor mount. I couldn't see the tear because of the rubber hanging insulator, but could get my fingertips up under and feel the cracks around the whole top edge of the rubber. Replaced today with OEM style mount, and car drives much better! Especially since I have the torque damper.
