Recurring motor mount issue

Recurring motor mount issue
Had my Pacifica's motor mounts replaced in October, and again on March 1st. My mechanic discovered that the transmission does not have a mount to support its weight (4.0L AWD), so it is causing my front and rear mounts to fail prematurely. I went to the local dealership and had them run my VIN, and apparently mine was not made with a transmission mount, but one is available for $58, not including installation. Has anybody experienced this? Seems like a huge quality issue on Chrysler's behalf. I've seen other AWD Pacifica's with what they call a "dog bone" mount, but mine doesn't have it. Doesn't even seem like there is a place to install it. Anyways, please let me know any experiences that you have had, and what the fix is!!
Thanks!

Here is a link to parts supplier. You could buy it from Rock Auto too.

I had that mount checked and its still fine.The issue is on the transmission side.. There is literally nothing supporting it. I'm going to have to have one installed, as it is the only way to prevent any more damage to my new mounts. Either way, I love the car and will keep it until the subframe rots out (hasn't started yet!)!

Experiencing same issues
Thankful for your post. U just brought clarification to my problem. I am going thru something similar, I own 05" Chrysler Pacifica, I've had it for 6 months, I've replaced two frame mounts, two motor mounts, and a "bone mount". Jus to have a mechanic tell me now , I need a ,"transmission mount". I'm over here pulling my hair out and ready to send this thing back. I'm going to replace this last mount and if it goes again , bye bye Pacifica. I've been researching and this is a very common problem. Your the first I've heard to mention the bone mount tho
