I always just thought this was an overboost situation because of the aggressive ots tune + lugging situation but it might be the same as yours- if we are actually just spinning the trans+diff combo on their soft stock mounts.
Can you post a video of the behavior? I'll get one tomorrow and post it too.

Hi, thank you for chiming in. I should add that I did try full solid polyurethane transmission mounts and while that did further improve the feel, it was way way way too harsh so I reverted back to stock for the mounts. Rpm bounce did not change.
I do suspect that rpm bounce is related to flywheel/spring compression - there was absolutely no play in driveline after the tranny... Prob need to test drive another manual 2-3 series to see if it does the same.
As mentioned, rear shifter bushing seems to have made the most noticeable impact on how tight everything feels.
