Great thanks
btrautman.
So standing on the driver side of the car next to
the front finder right against the driver side front wheel I know
where the mounts are and I can visualize four mounts of which I
replace the rear tranny that is behind the engine mount which I saw
looking the air box so I still have to replace the left tranny mount
which is near the front of the car which I saw looking behind the
radiator and I have to replace the right tranny mount which I cannot
see unless I look under the car and the mount that I will not
replace the engine mount is easy to see at the front passenger side
of the engine. So that would be parts 2887 and 2886.
After
looking at a picture of the subframe within my hanes manual I
noticed that the subframe holds the drive train components and in
effect isolates some of the vibrations from the rest of the unibody
of the car.
Btrautman during your installation of the ATX did
you notice any rubber bushings near the subframe bolts that connect
the the unibody of the car that further helps reduce the tranny
vibration. When the fan of my car come on and the car is in drive
not only can I hear it if the windows are down but I can feel a
vibration as the fan comes on. I do know that there are rubber
bushings under the radiator where the it is connected to the
subframe so I wonder if that rubber's old age is causing some
vibration to go into the passenger compartment.

Well I went to
autozone to pick up the parts and guess what? There I found out that
the mounts were simply the rubber inserts and no metal mount frames
included. So when it comes to mounts is it best to just purchase the
whole assembly or are inserts just as good?

Metal is
Metal. Just purchase inserts. Take out the metal housing so that you
can have plenty of leverage to install the inserts properly.....This
is what I use and they are
fine.

Update.....
12,000 miles on car. Had to
replace irmc vacuum diaphram. Developed a leak. Also had to replace
rack and pinion! I should have replaced it when I had the engine and
atx out.....I didn't think it would EVER go out on me. Otherwise car
drives like
new.
Regards,
Bob
