Tranny and motor mounts

Well I got back from wisconsin from purchasing the mr-2 I told u all about...
The car ran fantastic, quiet, fast as hell, and tight all the way around.
The only thing I can see the car needs is tranny and engine mounts, as I give the car gas and let off rapidly... over and over again, I hear the engine rising and lowering, making a clunk sound...Not loud, but noticable to my ears. The same thing happened to my 4-runner, so this is what I know it to be.
My question is what will be the cost to have toyota or another mechanic to do the work on replacing the tranny and motor mounts??

it shouldn't take that long. The hardest one is the passenger side mount. Another thing i can recommend is not using urethane mounts, because they are too solid. Also, you will feel more vibration and will break your mounts where it attaches to the body..

if you use urethane you will need a motor dampner. you need something to take the torsion of the mounts. urethane are too stiff
