Henry, Tim,
My thoughts on this are that the steady-state torque on the chassis is the
same and symmetric, whether you use solid or soft mounts, but the momentary
torque will be much higher (e.g., when you shift gears) with solid mounts. I
agree with Tim that a through-bolt or equivalent to limit extension of both
motor mounts is the best solution. Anything you can do to stiffen the
chassis is still a good idea, with or without solid mounts.
