The shaking never goes away and it's completely brutal in an ATX but lovable if you have an MTX. You might get used to the shaking but I doubt it. Even if you do increase your idle, it'll still be there. It's because your car is trying to go forward but your stopping it with the brakes. Going into neutral, as you've experienced, isn't so bad but it's still a pain in the ass.
I had the whining too. I suspect that it's normal for an ATX with solids but I don't know what causes it.
Either way, I'm back to stock mounts. I know I'll have to replace them every now and then but it's better then the horrible vibrations with solids in an ATX.
That said, Terry's solids are a great product. Now that I have a VR4, I'm going to probably buy another set. I drove my friends MTL SL after we put solids in it and I could barely tell that they were solids.

Ah! why didn't I think of why the ATX feels so different. Yea Solids are much more noticeable in an ATX over a Manual for that exact reason. Trust me when I say there is a big difference. Now while it wouldn't bother me because i drove a 4g63 with the balancer shafts removed and poly inserts it is sorta similar in shake but only at idle and on the brakes.
