Are you using rubber or poly? I can't imagine poly breaking like that. I have a 350, shift kit, vette servos, and when my tranny shifts from 1 to 2, it jerks your head EVERY time, and barks rubber EVERY time, regardless of how light you are on the pedal, and my poly mount is going on 3 years old now.
use poly if you need something stronger. I would go with prothane, i broke a energy suspension one with hardly any mileage on it. Prothane seems to be made better as well
however, is the car still stock? there is no reason to go through mounts that fast. Are you sure you dont have a broken motor mount that is letting the drivetrain move too much and causing the trans mount to fail?
i snaped 3 rubber trans mounts after i put my shift kit in all with in 2 weeks.. ive had a poly mount from energy suspension and have had it for 2 years now and have beat it and beat it and its with held my abuse.. i also have poly motor mounts to go with it.. what a difference
