Engine torque damper/motor mounts...?
So, my car decided to break. The transmission casing where the rear motor mount is basically unattached now which I don't think is a good thing. Pretty sure.
I'm going to send the transmission to Shep to get it fixed and do a street strip because, well, its there.
I don't want this to ever, ever, ever happen again. Too annoying. So I'm thinking I should put in Engine torque dampers and solid motor mounts all the way around. Keep the ol'engine from moving around, and breaking.
I've searched a bit and have found no real solid information on who makes good vs bad torque dampers or motor mounts.
Are they all good? Does it make a difference on which one you use, in the realm of drivability, or its ability to keep the motor from moving? (durometer rating/just replacing the rubber/whole new mount/using a torque damper)
Now finally, will engine torque dampers and motor mounts keep this from happening again?

I've also heard alot of people talk about how bad and annoying the vibrations is by doing all the mounts.
Is it really that bad? I mean the car is normally a loud, bumpy, fairly uncomfortable car...
