More jbr tranny mounts have failed than stock mounts.

I think your CPE wasn't broken in or was loose with those idle vibes; mine is completely benign at idle and takeoff. However I think I will give you that clutch feel may have been a touch better on DM. That would have to be due to lower engine movement allowed though, because the hydraulic clutch shouldn't actually behave any differently unlike the shifter.

Haha, fucking whiner. I drive about 40 city miles a day, equally split mileage wise between freeway and surface, and with the traffic it seems like uphill both ways. I'm so allergic to traffic I manipulate my leaving times and watch Google Now so I can drive when things aren't too backed up. I'm lucky to have that flexibility. But there are lots of people around here that put us to shame on driving miles, for example btstarcher, pretty sure that dude drives a LOT.

Yeah, I'm running the CP-E 60 duro RMM, I've got to be close to 60,000miles now. You've got to break the mount in. The first 1,000miles or so, I was in full regret mode because I thought I've ruined the livability of the car. But man, once the mount settles down the vibrations and noises really level off.

Now, how long do these bushings last?

Probably not as long on v1 as on v2. I'd suggest to have a look at a v1 at least every 2yrs/30k. It's unfortunate that it's not as easy to inspect as a v2.

I can visually inspect the thing without taking it off right? (I don't remember, it's been a long time since I got underneath the car)

If you have a V1 (which I believe you do if you have a 60duro - the v2 doesn't come in multiple durometers) then you will pretty much have to remove it to inspect the bushing because the bushing is in the stock location which is sandwiched between two pieces of structural stamped steel.

Alright, then f*** it. The mount is either fine as it is or a new one is going in.

OP, if you have not done so already, raise your idle rpm +200 and see if that stops or reduces some of the shaking at red lights and in stop and go traffic.

You need an access port to change the idle. That's not quite in the budget right now.

~1000 Mile update. They are a lot better, but the vibration around 70-80 MPH are still an issue. Rear view mirror is a blur and you never know when CHP might cruse up behind you. Also when coming to a stop as RPM's drop to around 2750 it does s sudden major vibration through the dash. The noise through the transmission is a lot better, however, they need to go. The performance is awesome, but not for a daily driver.
