[Shotimes] tranny mount?

[Mike.Wojton@us.o-i.com]

So are there 2 or 3 mounts in total?  I was thinking 2 for the motor, then
one in the back on the tranny.  Maybe I'm stuck in rear wheel drive mode
again.  I remember you pointing out the one on the green car that you
thought was damaged.  Is that the same one you're talking about now?
