Tranny bushings?
 
I've searched, but cannot not any aftermarket transmission bushing(s). I would like to get ride of the rubbery feel. Is this available by anyone?

You mean in the shifter?

Yes, anything to tighten up the drivetrain. Harder motor mounts or tranny mounts. I've found nothing. Anyone?

Have you purchased the Axial Flow short shifter? It might be what you're looking for in terms of shift feel.

Also you might want to check you motor mounts for cracks if your drive line is moving around on you..

Harder motor mounts/tranny mounts won't help with shift feel. In fact, it'll make your car vibrate even more and not as comfortable.

They do sell solid motor and differential mounts.

This car has a power plant frame, the transmission is not supported by anything else, it is a floating design.

The axial flow short shifter is what you are looking for in terms of shifting snappiness. http://www.axialflow.com/products.htm

Lol, if you think this car has a sloppy transmission feel...

I do like the transmission. That's one of the reasons I bought it. However I can feel the motor move within the stock mounts. There not broken as the car only has 450 miles on it. But it's typical drive line give to avoid NVH. Many other vehicles such as a GTI and WRX's along with many other I'm sure have aftermarket poly mounts. Yes you do get a little more NVH, but it feels tighter.

staticlag metioned that solid motor mounts are offered. Does anyone know who is selling them? Thanks.
