William, at this point if you don't know that the transmission mount has
ever been replaced it is a good idea to replace it when you are
replacing your engine mounts.  I believe that if your tranny mount is
junk it can kill good engine mounts and vice versa.  Replacing them all
at the same time makes the most sense to me.  Get the good engine mounts
made in Germany (we sell them for $18 each) instead of the India made
ones.  I also have an aftermarket transmission mount for $49 that seems
to be good.  Let me know if I can help you further.
