NRG Torque Damper
Any opinions on this? Only chose ebay link because it was the cheapest I could find the NRG brand. I have seen several writeups in other forums but wanted to ask you guys first. My engine movement is annoying.

works, and NRG is good.
However, I suggest Energy Suspension polyurethane motor mount inserts. You'll achieve the same thing but with less clutter in the engine bay, and for only $40-50.

How hard is it to install the mounts... Im just really tired of my engine shaking... I laugh b/c when I am sitting in my car and driving, the shifter moves forward and back when in gear... its hilarious...

Well the torque damper and/or mounts will only make that worse. They stiffen the engine.
For that problem, I recommend replacing all of your shifter bushings, and getting Energy Suspension shifter bushings (only replaces two of the bushings... for the rest you need to go OEM Honda). The following part numbers are not actual part numbers, just numbers used to identify the item in the diagram, so if you take the number "7" to Honda and tell them you need a "7", they're not going to know what you mean. I recommend just ordering online, as the local dealer will have more expensive items and that extra cost will probably equate to the cost in shipping from ordering online.
Here's what you need from Honda:

Energy Suspension Shifter Bushings come in a set and replace part numbers 14, 16, and 19 on the diagram. Ignore 27, 30, 31, and 32; those aren't on your car. Try to get black (contains graphite and lasts longer), but it's no big deal if you get red. I have red and it's fine.

Here's what you need from Honda:
- 7
- 10
- 5 (quantity 2)
- 11
- 23 (quantity 4)
- 4 (quantity 2)... recommended... this is a thrust washer, not a bushing

Nice, is this an easy repair? Also this parts list you gave me is for MT Y8 right?

Yea, it's pretty easy if you are the kind of guy who doesn't mind turning a few wrenches. It's not too in depth.
All the parts I gave you are the ones for your car. If you buy the energy suspension bushings you'll need to make sure to select "92-00 SOHC Civic" or whatever it says.
The effect that the energy suspension bushings will have over stock is that they will make the shifting more precise and the level won't move side to side as much while in neutral and especially less side-to-side movement while in gear. It will also make the end of the shift throw more exact. For example, when you shift into 3rd, you won't be able to push the shifter as much more forward than it needs to be. Basically it'll be stiffer while in gear, but not harder to shift.
You'll also need some white lithium grease, for lubing the ball towards the bottom of the shifter. It can be found at the auto parts store for a few bucks.
