Engine Dampers

I believe someone does. I've seen them on some company's website. I just can't remember who. I would suspect that what has been found by the OP here would be the same for solid engine mounts. Whenever you reduce the natural movement of this engine, more vibration will be transferred to other parts of the car. For example, bolting a heavy object like a supercharger will produce more vibration through the shifter. I consider this to be a bad thing. The engine is supposed to move a bit in order to keep vibration to an acceptable level. Sending vibration to other components of the car may only serve to fatique those sooner.
Whatever perceived benefits to such mods is not worth the added vibration that it lets through.

But they have everything for the drivetrain so basically its the motor,tranny(it says gear shifter) and also for the diff, so i think that takes cares of the fituge that could be caused by the motor mounts !!
What do you think ?? But it is a little more cash then I thought

The problem, is that if you put hard mounts on everything, where does the vibration go? It has to get dampened somewhere. "Energy is neither created or destroyed." If the engine's vibration isn't dampened due to hard mounts and sends it to the tranny and the tranny can't absorb it, then it vibrates more. Then the tranny sends it down through the propshaft and into the diff and if it's hard mounted, it can't absorb it either and sends it along. Soon, your whole car vibrates in places it shouldn't. It'll turn out like exhaust drone. Not long, it'll drive you nuts and begin to crack stuff. In this case, I'm not so sure having "Mugen" parts on the car is such a good thing.
Thank you sir
