In Jeeps just the engine torque with the 256 I-6 is enough to snap motor and tranny mounts. But then again they are made out of tin foil 
Anyways there is alot of torque applied to the tranny mount in a stickshift with granny low, regardless of how little hrsepower the engine has. I assume it's a stick, cuz you have the 300. Does it break when you dump the clutch, or at WOT in the middle of the mud, or what? Try Energy Suspension, they might make a stronger polyurethane tranny mount for your application. The other thought I'm having is that the driveline angles are too steep and putting extra force on the tranny mounts. But if this is the case, you would probably be eating up U-joints also.
