Sounds like the transmission torquing over to one side. brenspeed.com sells the torque limiters for $169.

For the motor mounts, the Prothane units run about $129 anywhere that has them. The hardest part of the install is getting the left mount out from under the mounting arm. Since I wasn't going to be putting them back in, I used a Dremel and cut about 3/4" off the top of the stud that's in the middle of the stock mount so I could weasel it out. Other than that, total time is about an hour for install. You will need some serious extensions though, to get that far down in the engine bay.

I will note that it will increase the vibration in the cabin, but I have no issues with it. I rather like it.

Thank you Kotobuki, I will start with the CHE unit and keep the motor mounts in mind

Cheers

So did you try motor mounts or torque limiters?

The only negative about torque limiters is the cross brace gets in the way during an oil change.

This is happening to me when I go from 1st to 2nd in high rpms, it goes in normally in regular shifts. When I'm on the highway, in neutral, if I rev the car over 4k, it wont let me go into ANY gear into it drops passed 4k. Don't know if that's normal or not, I just recently installed Prothane mounts and got new oem suspension to try to fix the problem. All it did was make the shifts easy, which I'm glad it did. anyone found a solution to this? 0.o
