Solid mounts

According to all the research I've done I need to have solid mounts to run the EJ20 in my beetle. I've already made the mounts and the engine and tranny are installed, however, now I'm wondering if it's possible to use the solid mount idea, but stick a piece of rubber or something in between the mount and the tranny. This differs from regular style mounts because the rubber is not structural but just sitting between the metal surfaces.
I haven't driven in a beetle with solid mounts but have heard its not very pleasant for daily driving/long trips which I will be doing. The whole thing will be dynamated and carpetted to reduce sound. I know the vibration probably won't bother me as much but I KNOW it will bother my better half Comments please!?
Mike
