Okay, so that was short lived. Even for a car I drive on the street ~4 times per month and to/from the track the AKG 95A transmission mounts were too much NVH for me. I reinstalled some new OE rubber mounts last night and I feel like I am in a brand new car now, world of difference, and this is with the AKG 75D engine mounts still in. I would seriously only recommend the poly transmission mounts for cars that are trailered to/from the track.

Interesting additional observation, my exhaust sounds way better w/ the OE transmission mounts. I detected a change when I installed the polys but didn't realize how drastic it was. Engine mounts only FTW, leave those transmission mounts stock folks!
