Default Motor mount/transmission mount upgrade

I'm wondering if there is a upgrade I can make to my motor mounts and transmission mounts.

Megan is making a polyurethane motor mount set but I'm not seeing any trans mount upgrades.

The tranny mount is pretty solid stock. The engine mounts stock are hydraulic .

I just changed all of mine and the tranny mount compresses when you install it so really isn't a need for anything special

Would polyurethane motor mounts cause vibrations in your interior when the car is at idle?

Yes it would. Once I changed mine to fresh hydraulic mounts it was like a different car.
