The Revo shifter has hard integrated bushings along with a shortened throw. The shift spring is also stiffer.

I just installed mine

Let me explain, I drove a turbo GSR with solid mounts all the way around, and I do not want that much vibration, but I would like it to stiffen up a bit to help with response.
With all 3 of my mounts filled, I don't really feel the vibration is intense. My teeth are not chattering by any means. Just fill your rear mount with window weld and run with it. When I replaced mine, I replaced the 2 side mounts (intentions to replace all 3, just was dark outside so waited till the next day) and vibrations were present, but nothing extreme at all (for me) and I could not budge the engine whatsoever, I pushed on it and the whole car would want to move. The 3rd mount added a bit more vibration, but it was not like my 5R Teggy with the 4 solid mounts, but even that one was not a bother at all for me.

Definitely at least get solid shifter housing mounts whether they be aluminum or brass. The Mugen does come with harder durometer rubber mounts, but that still allows a bit of play.

Might want to PM those that have swapped over to that metal rear mount and see what their car's feeling is like now. I would still just fill the stock mount versus grabbing that piece.

I didn't even know you could swap these bushings out. Interesting.
