Default motor mount

i have a 2002 dodge neon sxt and it vibrates when idling. I replaced the upper and lower motor mounts. i was wondering if anybody has replaced the middle motor mount. it seems to only come out through the engine bay and was wondering how difficult it is to replace?

what are you talking about the middle mount? on passenger side.. theres one up top, one thru the timing case, then one on the bottom connecting to an arm, then on the driver side, theres one that goes thru the frame rail to the tranny, its under the battery tray....

now the middle mount on the passenger side is just a bolt... a hex bolt at that, theres no rubber to absorb, so theres no changing that.... im kinda obliterated, so i dont remember if there is any rubber on the tranny mount on the driver side, im pretty sure theres not... the only rubber is on the top and bottom on the passenger side

I think you'd have to pretty much drop the engine to get at that middle pivot bushing...I don't know am I right?
