Holy S&@t! I found out after a ton of research that the lower rear mount is the same as the Focus ST. lots of implications here. I used the Cobb mount and damn that thing made a world of difference. I’m blown away. I was going to go back to Ford and complain about how my trans was shifting. Nope just sloppy ass engine/trans mounts. This takes longer to jack the car up then it does to swap the mount. The original mount I can move with my thumbs. I don’t get why they would think that’s okay. now that being said it’s a vibration station for sure and they say they take a month to break in so I’ll see what happens. It vibrates at idle and and with the A/C on. But the changes it made are insane. This thing is fun to drive now. The Focus Electric Mount would most likely the best option if you don’t want to deal with NVH. Mountune makes one that has less NVH than COBB and there is some others and even inserts for your stock Mount. The scum “mechanic” stripped the frame to side mount bolts on my top passenger side mount and used a nut as a spacer. Hack! now get to swapping mounts.

Huh ... didn't even know these things had a rear transmission ... (ba dump dump) Another potential addition to the Focus swap list though. Keep us posted as time goes on. PS - for anyone else who had to gooOOoogle "NVH" ... it's "noise, vibration, and harshass". Or something like that. ;-}
