I replaced all of my mounts and found that the tranny mount was causing most of my noise. THere is still some shifter movement and a vibration if say you mess up shifting. The shifter still even torques a little under acceleration. I think this may be due to the car having alot of torque and remember the mounts are rubber. You can always switch to poly mounts. Under normal driving they should not make noise but if you have to try and reproduce the sound say by popping the clutch that could be just the way it is cause even mine still does and I can feel the engin bounce around. It is not a metal on metal sound though. THe bouncing around feeling is not like it is loose but more like if you pulled on a rubberband. I would not be worried untill I first replaced all the mounts like you are planning to. They are not that expensive and if you did the lower ones I would go ahead and do them all anyway. If one mount fails it can ruine them all. All I would recommend doing is using one 2 piece poly mount in the controle arm so you do not have to remove the entire bracket. I would still keep one mount rubber to prevent vibration unless you want to change them to all poly and don't mind feeling the engin vibratiion under idle conditions. Remove ing the control arm braket so I can put it in a press was a pain for me. Look at the setup you will see which mount I am talking about. I believe it is the one closer to the firewall.
