drivetrain vibration

So I put in a rebuilt motor and went with the banzai motor mounts. I had jacked up the trans to the top of the tunnel when installing so not sure if anything messed up there but I get alot of car vibration with throttle only. So idle and cruising is fine, just hard throttle and it seems to maybe come from the passenger front side maybe. Anyone else deal with this?

Did you install the Race or Street version mounts? We sell a Street retrofit kit if you bought the Race version FD3s Poly Motor Mounts

However, your description sounds like something else is wrong or the mounts are not installed correctly. The Race version mounts can transmit a slight vibration at low rpm throttle.

The street version but I found I had one of the small bushings ripped apart and they were tighter than usual. Replaced it, and it is slowly getting better the more I drive.

Sounds like you over compressed the mounts.

I didn't really see any specs on torque for them so just kind of tightened them.
