DIY for motor mount?

***UPDTAE*** I have a 2001 Honda Civic LX 5-speed. The current bad engine mount for my transmission (the one on the passenger side below my air filter for my Typhoon short ram) has a total of 3 bolts.. However, when I went to order a new one, the cataloge says transmisison motor mount will have only 2 bolts... Anyone know if Honda did something with the design of the new passenger side transmission motor mount? . Thanks!

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Its a piece of cake. Stick a jack under the tranny, take the whole mount out. First loosen the big bolt that holds the 2 pieces together, then unbolt it from the frame, and from the transmission. Take out both halves. Replace just the side that bolts to the frame (the one with the bushing in it). Re-assemble it and put the whole thing back in. its 45 lb ft all the way around (but some of them are unreachable with a TQ wrench, so just make it tight. You need a 17mm deepwell and a 17mm ratcheting wrench (not a socket) to do it.
Should take an hour.
