There is no tranny mount...the Power Plant Frame basically holds the rear of the transmission hard mounted to the differential. So the whole drive train is held in by the two front motor mounts...and the 2 rear differential hangers in the rear

You will need to check them both to figure it out

Check the diff mounts.....

Also is the PPF bolted tightly to both the tranny and diff?
