Arrow Unclear about tranny and diff mounts.

Ok i searched and read through many thread and heres the different stories ive come up with.:

1) if you use solid motor and tranny mounts together the tranny will break.

2) if you use solid tranny but stock motor mounts, the bolts holding your tranny in will break.

3)the solid tranny mounts cause more vibration than engine or diff mounts

SO can I get some clarity? My tranny mounts are SHOT so i wanna replace them with solids but i dont need more problems later. I also am looking at using them for my diff. I was told by engine builder that the solid motor mounts were horrible for the street so those are stock.

Mazda trix sells competition mounts which are much stiffer than stock, but not solid. They sound like your best bet. http://mazdatrix.com/g3.htm

Cheaper and I also dont see these alone on mazdatrix.

Im not worried too much bout comfort as much as reliability.
