Hi i got my cpe stage 2 rmm installed 3 days ago and absolutely love it.
Since installing i have noticed more engine noise from inside the car which i actually like, but when shifting i notice a mechanical knocking sound. Definitely not the same as the bang before just wondering if this is normal

We have a very loud transmission. Its probably just the clunking of the shifter linkage.

Yeah I don't notice the transmission shifter noises all the time. If you were driving with the window down to listen for motor mount noises you probably hear that instead. So I wouldn't worry to much. If you torqued the mount properly you should be good to go. Wouldn't be a bad idea on your next oil change to double check the mount with a torque wrench.

Send from another galaxy.

The same thing happens to me if I shift from 2nd to 3rd at 3k RPM. The whole car vibrates when the revs hit 2200 RPMs. My buddy has a CFM mount and his does the same thing.

im am very glad I found this thread... ive had some vibes that have been a little aggravating and was going to hop under the car and retorque everything today after work. Im going to check these bolts as well when i get under there.

Was laid up under the car putting on my fswerks torque brace and it started raining.. Had to hurry and get the car done so I couldn't lift it higher to torque the bolt between the 2 parts of the RMM but I did retorque the vertical bolt going up into the subframe and it did seem to clear up a tad bit of the vibes I think.. Checked the other bolts and they were in the right locations and nothing was rubbing. Looks like my noise may have been not having the bolts torqued to spec fully.
