See my previous post.  On broken mounts they help some but not as
much on mounts that are good.

I wouldn't say that I would do it for the throttle response and
the smoother shifts alone!  Again my opinion too.

Or what is technically the LH side of the motor and the RH side of
the motor.  Most also refer to them as the Dogbone and the
firewall mount.

If you do all 4 you will.  FYI they are called the front and
rear mounts.  Or the passenger side and tranny mount.  The passenger
side one adds the most vibration to the car.  Hence why its liquid
filled to start with.
