The benefits are they it is more solid than the OEM piece, this allows the transmission to be a little more firm in the car and keep from moving around. It's supposed to make the feel of the transmission sharper and yield more power from the drivetrain to the wheels instead of some being lost through the movement of the transmission. Similar idea to motor mounts.

The one I got is the Z1 Urethane mount, not a completely solid piece (which they do sell as well). The advantage to the urethane mount is less NVH compared to the solid mount. I'm going to give the piece about 100 miles to settle in and give some feedback/review. I can say that just in my quick highway drive home I didn't feel any additional vibrations in the cabin or in the shift knob.

edit: Duh! I had the pulley installed today!! It's definitely a lot more responsive than the OEM set up. Also my car has more of a deeper, more throaty, sound while putting the foot down! ....Will do a review of this too later! Thanks rhd!
