Default 96 auto transmission mount


It appears that the 96 Corvette auto Transmission mount is a special mount different than the regular GM mount. Is there only a lower supporting mount as on regular cars, or are are there a upper and lower with the tailshaft housing sandwiched between them? I cannot find out from the part house catalogs.
Another question relates to the mount that come off the location at the bellhousing/engine on each side. Was this an additional mounting special to the Corvette with rubber bushing? Can't locate any info on it but have the mounts at that location that have been cut and appear they would go to a frame support. I only have the engine and tranny - no car at this point. Would greatly appreciate any info or drawing available. THX

I may be misspeaking here slightly, but there isn't a transmission "mount" per se on the C4's. The transmission is held in place by the engine mounting via the bellhousing on the front, and the c-beam-to-differential mounting on the tailshaft.
