Good luck with your project.

My apologies if I came off rude, sometimes I'm too blunt, enginerd problems! I just meant to state that we were already looking into producing them. Thank you for your recommendation and previous experience, glad it seems to be a common theme to offer both

We will be if testing goes well.
More updates:
Yes it has been an extremely busy weekend, full of sweat and blood haha. It's 100+ everyday now so working in the garage flat out stinks, figuratively and literally.
While the transmission was out, I wanted to stiffen up the mounts. I haven't seen anyone stiffen the OEM mounts yet, so I wanted to give it a shot. I have 3-4 sets laying around so if I don't like it, I can try another compound or go poly.
What I have found in the past by going this route is it is a nice compromise between the OEM mount and a solid polyurethane mount. I believe *this is strictly my opinion, everyone has different levels of NVH they like and dislike* that OEM is too soft, and poly is too harsh. This modification generally puts the mounts smack dab in the middle of those two extremes, I'm excited to give it a try.
Before
Trans mount after, it is fully filled and will need 2-3 days to fully cure
Shift bushing after, it is fully filled as well. You can see the hole I drilled in the top, I did this on the bottom as well; I then squeezed the hardening rubber in at these points until it came out the ends.
Prototype AOS automatic drain back is holding up well, finally took a photo of it.
I ended up pulling the entire exhaust setup and found a few tiny leaks in my v-bands so I'm glad I looked. Everything else appears to be sealing perfectly which I'm happy about.
The OEM throw out bearing already showed signs of failure. It had excessive play and made a slight growling noise.... only 12k miles on it
. Half tempted to contact a few manufacturers and see if they're willing and able to produce something a bit nicer than OEM.
Thanks,
