Solid tranny mounts are asking for trouble, unless you like to rebuild your car every year and you don't mind your chassis feeling like a tank.

May I ask why you say you need to "rebuild" your car just because of solid tranny mounts?

If you do a lot of hard shifting, the solid mounts can put more stress on the support brackets. So long as the material is poly or rubber, you should be fine for a DD in my experience.
