Yea, I’m not certain if click was the right term but it makes the noise when you feel the driveline movement through the shifter. I only have 41k miles (66km) and have contemplated an aftermarket tranny mount... was thinking this may be the push I need. The NVH may cause new noises to appear but it’s not a vehicle I spend my life in so I’m sure it’d be tolerable.

lol, thats definitely me too...sometimes I think I spend more time listening for squeaks and rattles than I do to the exhaust and when there are none and its so satisfying to just hear the exhaust cause I do all the fixing myself...

Oh absolutely there will be new noises, and it's probably going to shock you. A few years ago, people were getting these mounts and then reinstalling the original within weeks. Off the top of my head, Slartibartfast and 4DRZ still have their aftermarket mounts.

I made it far less than a week. I think I installed it on Sunday and took it off Tuesday after work, hot exhaust and all. I wanted that biatch off!

Yeah I was involved in that thread, watched the list of ppl grow that removed it. It is definitely an “acquired taste” but I doubt i’d Take it off because I’m stubborn enough to allow it to become the new norm.

Unknown noises are another story...

Still have the trans mount installed. 5th gear has a relatively new vibration, otherwise I no longer notice the steering wheel vibes. It's the suspension and bushings that have my attention now, what with all the urethane in the back.

Anyone have experience with their MPG indicator dropping drastically?

Yesterday in the morning it was at 19.6. When driving to work this morning it was at 17.2.

ECU was reset recently (like 3 days ago), but I've never experienced issues with that in the past.

By resetting the ECU you have removed the MPG history, thus making the number more volitile until you put miles on the car.

This is exactly me also. Any small noise that is out of place drives me crazy. And I know I drive my wife nuts sometimes because I'm always like, "do you hear that noise, Honey?". LOL

I once drove for ~10 minutes in 2nd gear at 60 mph, because I couldn't, um, shift.....

Way more fun that "do you hear that noise?"

And the chat thread goes there, LOL.

When I was a young man, things like automated cruise control and active lane assist would have been really nice for different reasons than I have today.
