Hi Andy,
My old oil soaked item was as hard as a Jelly Baby when I removed it.
The replacement had about as much give as a block of wood. I heard rumour that a batch of over hard gearbox mounting rubbers hit the shops a couple of years ago. More gearbox whine came into the car afterwards, and more again after changing the remote housing bushes to poly spec.
