Hi Guys,
Since my engine mounts have done around 100k miles I thought I had better change them. I am also getting a clunk on gear changes which I am hoping relates to the mounts. Reading through old threads I noticed the THS mounts are discussed a lot (even Tuffty got them for his own car), however I can't seem to be able to purchase them from anywhere...
I was thinking of changing the dog bone bush and the gearbox and engine side mounts. I am not after the best mounts in the world I would happily buy OEM (aside from the dog bone since the bush is pretty cheap), I just want to replace these old parts. This is my daily and not a track monster.
I have come across the following:

Would the mounts above and the dogbone powerflex bush (either red or yellow) be suitable. Or would you recommend something else/additional for a car that has done so many Kms.
I will get to the suspension mounts at a later date I am currently just worried about engine and gearbox mounts.
Thanks guys!
Edit: I just had a think about it, the dogbone polyflex bush is $40 and the entire dogbone mount is $72. Should I just get a new mount, or will it make no difference? It appears that the new mount comes with a rubber bush which wouldn't last as long?
