Default 09 Trans. Mount

Does anyone have a diagram or can someone provide me with some info on the location of the trans mount and possibly other mounts. I think mine needs to be replaced and I’m going to attempt it myself.
TIA

Why do you think you need to replace your AT mount?

I just replaced the dog bone looking mount (the easiest one to get to) and after I did some searching, I’m finding that people are suggesting you replace ALL mounts at the same time. It’s probably fine but I’d still like to take a look at it. More concerned about the motor mounts seeing that I’m pushing 180k miles....

That doesn't always bode well with mechanical devices where preventive maintenance prolongs longevity and helps prevent failure. To take it to an extreme, why change the motor oil if engine is running fine?

I would suggest preventative maintenance is based on failure rate data. All components have a life and are tested to support it. Changing out components based on this data is the correct thing to do in order to extend service life and insure safety . So that being said if there is data that supports changing the mounts then the right thing to do is change them. The problem here is that there is most likely no data available from the manufacture so the change necessity is optional. Do what makes you feel good as it's your dime.

My response reflects pretty much what jagtoes already wrote...

Engine oil has a relatively limited life-span and it is well known, whereas other mechanical components don't have a known life-span. It is like going to replace the pistons just because they will fail at some point in the future. Replacing anything that isn't broken or failing is a waste of $$ in my opinion. At that rate, may as well get a new car cause everything on the car will fail eventually... And at the end of the day it is your $$

I changed the 2 engine and 1 tranny mount in my '02 GS430 at 100K miles--16 years--.
The car rides better.
