Stillen Engine Damper installed

Its a PITA to install, really tight places... but just finished taking a drive. Feels like filled motor mounts, driveline lash is all but gone. Shifts are more direct, and you feel more connected to the car.

There is a slight amount of vibration felt through the gas pedal, but nothing crazy. WELL WORTH the $$$$.

From Stillens site:

Quote:

When an engine moves excessively in its mounts, energy is wasted. Stillen's engine stabilizer converts this wasted motion into forward momentum. An isolastic mount acts as a shock absorber and dampens unwanted motion. With no hydraulic parts to wear or fade in use, this is a long term solution. Easy mounting uses existing holes and complete instructions are provided.

Is the stillen engine damper a stiff piece ? If you push on one side of the damper, would it move like a piston? I got one in mail.. it seems, the center shaft is just tight fit into a poly sleeve... just by friction, it gives the dampening effect? is this piece right?
thanks.

i've heard some lousy reviews on that as of late.

Its solid, and what you see allows for adjustment to fit. It does work, but the vibrations are transmitted through the chassis.
