Default Dumb Question about tranny mount(s)

Dumb question I'm sure, but is there one or two transmission mounts?

2nd, OReilly has an Anchor brand for 79.99/each

I see people use the energy suspension one from autozone, does anyone have that part#? Autozone.com doesn't show any mounts available, but I saw some mounts on the shelf when I went there the other day.

Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for the reply. I'll just get the one from OReilly since I had them request it from a different store. Do the mount tomorrow and fuel filter.

I bought mine from summit for like 20 bucks for a Prothane brand poly mount. 80 bucks you could have gotten poly engine and tranny mounts for that price

Yeah, after reading all the extra vibration from poly I didn't want to go that route. If I'm lucky, I will be driving a C6Z august/september. So wanted to keep it as close to stock as possible. Since some people aren't familiar with the nuances of these fbodys.

I was shocked when I price the replacement transmission mount cost. I have a poly trans mount sitting in my tool box that I refuse to use again thanks to the virbrations it caused, but I think the factory mount has seen better days.

I disagree, I've tried it on 2 seperate occasions, but maybe I have something out of balance causing the vibration that the factory mount absorbs.
