I must try these engine mounts.
But what is actually the problem ? can the gearbox be modified (by opening it up) to stop this behavior ?
The denial and popping out of gear, from 3rd down to 2nd really grates my sack.
More than likely it's the amount of rotation between gear box / engine under acceleration or hard cornering. Only way to make sure though is to wait for vibra to make us a brace. If that still doesn't solve it, it means it's an issue with the gearbox itself.

The 3->2 denial AFAIK is fixed with stiffer mounts + engine mounts. It's the 1->2 that's better, but not completely fixed.
