Engine mounts?

My right side engine mount is bad: visibly torn rubber. I suspect due to the weird transmission issue I've been having- it has a delay when shifting into P or R. It's about 2-3second delay almost every time.

Anyway the the point of this thread is that I can't find engine mounts for sale anywhere! I've searched Rockauto and Advance and Autozone and Oreilly.

Has as anyone here bought motor mounts?

Why would a delay in shifting affect your engine mounts?

Check here...price isn't too bad:

Woops I forgot to type- it shifts a bit hard after the delay. "Slam" is too strong of a word but definitely shifts harder than normal.

And thanks for the lead- the prices are reasonable but it leads me to two questions

why does it label 4 as "left" when it is clearly on the passenger side?

whats the difference between a Mount and a Bracket?

Ill call the company on the web site for sure, but thought I would post the questions anyway.

Dunno...to be honest I've never ordered engine mounts.

That dealer sells a LOT of parts online, and they have about the best prices you'll find for genuine parts. They're not far from me, and they always charge retail prices if you go there in person unless you ask for the "internet price". I go there in person now that I'm back in MN, but I've had good luck in other areas getting local dealers to price match them.

I recall that I had a broken mount on a Ford passenger car with a V8. Should be similar to their vans. Engagement in drive would cause the motor to "hop" up and it caused the throttle linkage to move as if you gave it a excited push. Scared me but a co-worker had seen it before. Easy fix. Loosen the good mount and lift engine by the oil pan (floor jack and a 10" square of wood) swap out parts and let engine down. Tighten up. Test with a righteous hole shot.

Wow, the Ford price is $$$! I believe you earlier said you drove a 2007 E-350 w/V10.
This may help..

very interesting, but my van doesn't have throttle linkage nor cable. Fly by wire
