Will you do something to protect the hew ones?
I have heard of putting a plastic Ziploc bag over them or coating them with polysulfide rubber (from a marine shop).
Perhaps this is yet another example of aftermarket/repro rubber being inferior to the original formualation -- certianly my mounts (one original, the other very old if not original) are fine. These are the flat TR3/4 mounts though the replacements I have heard suffer a similar fate to that pictured.

Last time I checked my rear transmission mount - I didn't have one. The rubber was competely gone, the overdrive was probably about 1/2" low as a result and the whole thing stayed in place because the two metal pieces of the original mount basically overlap each other. I'm surprised I never saw the gearshift jump as a result, but it seemed relatively stable.
