Install was much easier than anticipated- if you're doing this on a manual, you should do the short shift plate as well. Heck, you might as well do the short ram intake, air box and all that at the same time, you will be in that area anyways. I did this in conjunction with the RMM and it's a major difference- removed slop, shifts nice and clean and far better response while driving.

I did the install on my own and it took maybe 1.5 hours on a 2.5 manual hatchback. I used my floor jack to adjust the transmission and was able to move the engine around myself to line up the TMM bolt. Contrary to what a lot of people are saying, I did NOT have to fully remove the fuse box on mine; I removed the bolt and nut holding it down so there was play and used a deep socket on an extension to get to the bolt under the fuse box.

The CorkSport Transmission Motor Mount for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 is a significant upgrade, especially when paired with the CorkSport turbo kit. This mount enhances drivetrain response and stability, reducing engine movement during acceleration or shifting. Additional vibrations were not too much, I have an Automatic transmission as well.

I installed it shortly after installing my turbo kit and noticed an immediate improvement in performance. The car feels more responsive and stable, with reduced wheel hop. The installation was straightforward, and the build quality is excellent. Overall, I highly recommend this motor mount for anyone looking to improve the performance of their Mazda 3.

I had the RMM placed in first, after 500 to 600 miles plus, I’ve installed the TMM. I was like ooooo boy this is gonna sound obnoxiously loud. After a long 3 horrific hours of install by myself, I started the engine and was quite amazed it didn’t sound as harsh as I thought it would be. Yes the rattles are there but I can tolerate it. I drive my car in manual mode all the time so when I’m waiting in traffic or red light, I place it in neutral. This seems to calm but vibrations down a bit. While driving, you won’t even notice it. If you’re in gear or moving little by little in traffic, yeah it’ll have rattling but you’ll get use to it. This was bought for my 2016.5 Mazda CX-5 Touring 2wd.

Quick run-down on this TMM; It works really well in conjunction with the RMM to make your throttle response, shift feel, and overall connection to car much stronger. If you are already doing one poly mount, you should definitely invest in this one too. Installing the short-shift kit for your manual would be a smart move at the same time, as you will be working in that area.

A must have for your manual transmission. Cleans up remaining slop you may have after doing the rear motor mount and allows for easier shifting. If you're serious about driving your third gen then this should be a great addition to your car.

I'll start this off by saying if you are thinking of purchasing this TMM, I would highly suggest getting the Rear Motor Mount as well, pairing them up greatly reduces the NVH of either and they work together handily to reduce travel of the engine and transmission.

With almost 3k miles on mine currently I love it, hands down one of the best mod's I've installed so far. Throttle response and shift times were instantly improved upon install. Do note that you will hear more noises than usual after install, but the harshness and vibrations if paired with the RMM will be reduced.

All in all after break in the part is much quieter and a great improvement to the overall driving experience of the car. 10/10

This TMM is pretty great. Throttle response is sharper and you feel a good bit more connected with the drivetrain. Install was fun and there weren't any major surprises. When it comes to trying to align the center bolt for installation in the TMM, taking pictures with your phone's flash on can be helpful to see where how the bolt and the hole are lining up. I needed a friend to really help with getting that bolt back in. Other than that, the NVH really isn't that harsh. The car honestly just feels more like my 05 Subaru Impreza. You'll get some vibrations below 1, maybe 1.5K RPM. You'll also get some more transmission noise but it's a subtle, nice touch. Not intrusive in the slightest. Would recommend if you want some driveline stiffening but want to avoid the (supposed) harsh NVH of the RMM.

I purchased this for my 2018 Mazda 3 2.5l. Mine is the automatic transmission. I install is a royal pain do to Mazda's location, but I have to say it is big difference when paired with there motor mount. Vibrations are not as bad as I originally thought.

I installed this on a awd cx5 2.5l with a 93 tune. I already use a poly RMM. I did not notice any additional vibrations (the rmm adds a bit). The car handles much better under throttle when cornering, and feels more planted overall during high load shift events.

Great product. Well made, did what it was supposed to do. Most of the drivetrain slop is reduced, NVH is near stock level once it settles down (slightly noticeable with the AC on). Throttle response is sharper, engine note more prominent (but with more deeper tone, so it's not annoying at all. Pleasant, even).

The only minus I can find is that I needed a 17mm wrench to remove the nut under the fuse box. Unless you take out the fuse box entirely, there is no room for a nut.

I would say this mount could have been made with a slightly stiffer durometer. It's very effective at
