I wanted to do an Autosolutions SSK later this year and also noticed the flex when under acceleration. It sometimes won't even let me shift 1->2 with this flex. Searched the forums and someone asked Ron about it...

He said the only time you'd want to replace the rear bushing is if you went w a hard transmission mount, limiting its movement from the body. Then you could do the rear carrier bushing also to tie all 3 shifter/body/transmission together in a solid way.
I don't plan to upgrade until end of year but I will ask about it when I do order.
