Default Engine mounts/tranny mount question

Hey guys, I recently ordered replacement engine/tranny mounts for my '95 LS. I got everything in the mail, but something's not right.

I ordered the engine mounts from one place and the tranny mount from another. The big round engine mount and smaller mount seem ok. They are marked part #12361-50100 and #12371-50060. However the "tranny mount" I received is the same as the small mount #12371-50060. I called the parts place and told them that I think they sent me an engine mount instead of a tranny mount. They said, "No, thats the correct part # for a tranny mount."
I'm lost. Any ideas?

Yeah, ok, #5 is the one that is in question. I got #1, #2 (engine vibration damper), and #5. The one that the place sent as the "tranny mount" was also #5. Is there a pic of the tranny mount?

number 5 is the transmission mount, its sometimes referred to as the "rear engine" mount even though it bolts to the transmission.......

Link no work. Let me get this straight. How many TOTAL engine mounts are there? One in front (#1) and one in rear (#5 or tranny mount) and then damper (#2)? Is this correct?

Usually just vibration at idle or clunking when the AC compressor engages.

The difference is AMAZING if your mounts are worn out. Feels just like a brand new car once you replace those three mounts.
