Right now I'm trying to track down my engine vibration issue. I believe that the vibration that I am feeling with the 5 speed from the engine but is magnified because the transmission mount is so much further away from the front mounts.

Is anyone running a manual with a 617 but without engine shocks?

The book says that the engine shock are not to be used with a manual transmission, and instead to use a 3rd mount on the cross member. I think some of my vibration is coming from that mount, even though its relatively new. If I can eliminate it without adverse effects I will.

If I can get the engine vibration issue sorted this week, I'll put the 5 speed back in this weekend and see if its a go or no go.
