auto es motor mounts
went on to the energy susp. website looking for motor mounts inserts for my 5.5 auto. found them but they are only for 6-speeds. does anyone make inserts or complete mounts for our auto's? c'mon we need em' too!!

Not really needed for autos. My 02 autos engine mounts where just fine because auto don't have as much engine movement as manuals. Not the 6 speed is another story. My engine moves way to much and the car bucks aroung like mad. I haven't changed to energy mount because I like the smoothness of the engine and with stiffer mounts you get more NHV.

well i knew a 6-speed max owner would say that. but honestly we only make about 10 ft. lbs. less than you guys. i can guarantee you that our motors move around just as much as yours. we need these mounts c'mon i know there are some auto max's out there with upgraded mounts. anybody?

With that comment I highly doubt you've every owned both
By the way here is a pic of both my 5.5

I'm surprised you can "feel" the engine moving while inside the car. Unless you are driving without a hood there is no way to judge how much one moves more than another. I've seen both auto and manual 4th and 5th gens on a dyno and the motor moves considerably, regardless of transmission type
btw, the motor mounts are the same between 95-03 manual maximas and is not relevent to only 6spd maximas.
EDIT: to answer the original question, the auto mounts are larger because they are electronically controlled and hence there is no bushing insert for it.

Maybe I should refaze (sp) my answer. You feel the car buck around more with the 6sp. If I remember the all the mounts on the auto are liquid filled while the 6 speed has one mount that isn't. As a whole the auto feels different from the 6sp. The auto rides firmer due to the weight and the stiffer front springs. When I brought my 6sp I didn't expect it to feel different from my auto but it does.

The bucking (IMO) is more of a gearing issue. 1st gear in a manual maxima is pretty short and we have a infamous bucking issue when letting off in 1st gear. The auto negates this through a taller 1st gear and the electronic stiffener.
The engine moves around too much in general, regardless of transmission type.
