I had test driven other tis and none of them felt that way. At first I thought it might be old trans fluid, so I changed that and used RP synchromax. That helped a little bit but didn't completely fix the problem. I searched around and read about the different trans mounts. I wanted something that would give me a good shift feel and could be used for daily driving. I decided on the Rogue Engineering mounts and ordered them from BimmerWorld. Installed them last weekend (very easy to do). However, when I got under the car to take the stock mounts off I discovered that the two nuts on the top of the stock mounts were completely loose. I was able to easily spin them off by hand. This no doubt contributed to the problem I was having. I installed the Rogue mounts to the proper torque spec and went for a test drive. It was immediately noticeable that shifts were smoother and engaging more accurately. I have been driving with it for a couple of days now and I have not noticed any new or different vibrations. Definitely a worthwhile mod if you are having trouble shifting easily.
