I think they are obsolete. Most people just take them off because they really don't do anything anyways.

Those are engine roll dampers and absorb the sharp impacts that can be created with a clutch. They shield the motor mounts from the high energy shocks from drop clutch starts and mis-clutched shifts. They are there for a reason, but the use of reinforced motor mounts can partially make up for their abscence.

They may look worn, but their function may be good if they take a significant effort to compress or extend. It is usually the rubber mount bushings that wear out first.
