      The first two mounts are really really easy, but that last one is a bitch to get to! You don't need any special tools aside from the transmission crossbrace alignment tool. You can buy it for not too much at your local dealer.

              I can do the first two in about 5 minutes. That last one is tricky.

                    Is this a big joke? I sure hope so.

                        There are two engine mounts, two transmission mounts and the differential mount. I have no idea what the "third transmission" mount would be...

                          A shop is going to charge you about 2.5 hours to do this (L&R Engine and trans mounts)... Regardless of how long it takes.

                            My bad on lack of info. On an auto specifically... I was pretty sure there was three but I think it's two now.

                              well there is a rubber stopper at the front of the tranny that stops the whole powertrain from shifting forward when you brake, causing the engine fan to make contact with the radiator if you brake hard enough
