I have a 91 Plymouth Acclaim 6cyl 3.0 and need to replace the
transmission mount, often called motor mount. I had the part and
returned it because I was not sure of the location on the car.

My shop manual and computer repair disk make it's location difficult
yet my Haynes says to just remove and replace it.

I did the other two mounts (front and left side) but this one I can't
figure out.

Supposedly it sits on top of the Transaxle Rear End Cover.

Has any replaced the part and can you help me?

It is bolted to the top of the trans with a few bolts and is bolted to the
car with 1 long bolt that is accessed inside the driver's wheel well and is
hidden behind a rubber plug and/or a plastic splash guard. The 1 long bolt
is a 15mm not sure about the others.

Note : if using a shallow socket on the long bolt be very careful as the
bolt head is inside the frame rail and if you knock the socket off of the
extension it can and will drop down in the frame and become unrecoverable.
