i'm an idiot, please forgive me

please forgive me, i don't know much when it comes to techincal things. i'm pretty sure my car needs a tranny mount(thumps during shifts if i step on it but is okay if i baby it). as far as i know, there is only one mount. since i don't have a place to work on it, i took it to a dealer. he asked which mount it was. is there more than one? as i said, i don't know much. any help will be gratefully appreciated. thanks in advance. bill

I'm not aware of more than one...there should be a mount in the rear of the tranny then the rest of it is held up by the bolts into the engine...

Exclamation

Get your car out of the dealr right now!!!!!! They will only rob you!!!!!!

If you don't have a place, do it at a friend's place or something, but not at a dealer!!!

Go to AutoZone and buy one for 15-20 bucks and all it takes is a level place to work on (driveway/garage etc.), jack, basic tools and 15-30 minutes.

And there is only one tranny mount.

do not get yourself one from AutoZone, I changed mine 3 times in 6 mths before I went with a polyurethane unit from Energy Suspension.

That is a strong piece.

Don't let the dealership rob you! Get an Energy Suspension bushing and change it your self, its easy and will only take 30-45mins. There is only one bushing, located b/t the trans and the trans crossmemeber. Do it youself and put the saved money toward other mods

I was going through stock tranny mounts left and right on my car, until I replaced it with the 1LE tranny mount. granted it is more expensive, (about $50 i think ???) but i have not broken it. It is definitely something that can be done by urself. should't take more than a half hour with a jack and proper tools.

don't worry folks, i walked away from the dealer when he said he wanted $45 bucks just to figure out which one it was. since that is way too much and as far as i knew there was only one. i'll be moving into a house soon and will be able to do it myself then. i just wanted to make sure there was only one mount. thnx for all the help.

Get an LS1 stock tranny mount. Direct fit, soft and durable. I have the poly energy suspension mount and it's rough, my friend has an LS1 mount and it is smoother (if you can describe it that way).
