Here's mine that i just took apart. Your website states that AS won't work with a BFI insert.

That will absolutely work with their transmission insert, all you’ve gotta do is drop it in and re install

After the 034 upper dogbone insert you so kindly gave me, i can take anything.(there was no sarcasm there, i really do appreciate that insert)
Glad it was of good use.

If a Mustang has a Mustang rumble when inside, with BFI mounts you will have a GTI or R rumble. I noticed it. Adds to the sporty feel but if NVH of any type drives you nuts, suggest you stay OE. Not super bad as my Wife has not commented on it. Hope that helps in decision.
BFI's are well made.

I'll be ordering a BFI stage 1 motor mount and a stage 1 trans mount insert. I have two trans mounts -- oem and 034. I practiced taking the oem apart last night, will be putting the insert inside the 034 mount. For all those interested, BFI is giving us a discount. PM them for the code.

I would highly recommend putting the insert in the OEM mount, thus taking the poor 034 quality completely out of the equation

I may as well. I assume, though, that 034 just puts an insert into oem as well?

Turns out, after reading this thread, mine failed in the exact same way. Very disappointing, as they were nice from a price/performance/comfort standpoint. I get plenty of vibrations from the 034 spherical dogbone, so I'm guessing (hoping) I won't notice much from swapping to BFI. Has anybody had issues with the 034 trans mount so far?

No issues with the trans mount except that one of the holes for the battery tray did not line up, so i couldn't insert the bolt.

Installing 034 mounts soon. This thread is a bummer. Might reconsider now

It seems the motor mount will give eventually (ask Navi, he's had this issue twice).
Considering BFI are offering a group buy discount, i say it's a good idea to go with BFI.
