Don't use stock GM rubber ones. It is not uncommon to have a new rubber mount break hours after it has been installed. Go with a poly mount of your choice. Also, look at your motor mounts. If they are shot the tranny mount is taking the brute of the motors deflection and can contribute to premature failure.
