Transmission and pitch/thrust mount replacement...

I hear these fail and think there are better replacement options. I installed an Anderson Anti-Wobble at very low mileage. This insert is stuck inside the factory mount to stiffen it. The factory mount is so soft. Squeezing it collapses easily in my hands.
Saw that Rockauto had a pitch stop for 10.00. Made by Anchor. Added one To an order just to have. Looks identical to OEM. Anchor has the five stud CVT Mount also. Looks more substantial than OEM.
The Anderson CVT insert definitely made a difference. The Auto Stop would cause the engine/transmission to flop and bang when activated. The Anti Wobble (another soft rubber part) almost completely eliminated the shake and slamming.
I was concerned the Auto Stop was damaging the motor mounts and CVT Mount. Pitch Stop too. But there are options for dealing with Auto Stop. Check out Auto Stop Stop if your vehicle has this feature.
 
I have 16,000 miles on my 2022. Looked over the OEM PItch Stop at around 12,000 and it looked fine. Could you see yours was loose by visual inspection?
Think I read they superseded the Pitch Stop part number a few MY’s back. Maybe to address early wear.
