I need motor/trans mount inserts because the rubber in them is rotten and the rear roll stop I think is letting the engine roll under hard acceleration. Its for a auto n/t 420a. I was thinking Prothanes but I can only find them for a manual car?? Anyone have protanes installed on an auto? any difference? If they dont make them for an auto whats my other option?

Get a new mount from the dealership or fill your existing mount with some urethane from McMaster Carr.
 
The Prothane insert kits are the same for ALL 2G cars (turbo, n/t, FWD, AWD, a/t, and m/t).

Not only does the Prothane catalog and website confirm this, but I can tell you that I have removed the inserts from my 2G m/t car and installed them in my other 2G a/t car.

yeah thats weird I was looking at it earlier on their website. It doesn't say just manual, it has the same part number for all the 2g's.

...I found some info on putting window weld in the mounts too, but my cars a DD so i dont have much downtime for them to dry and cure. I could get all 4 mounts from a junk yard for 60 bucks and i think window weld is like 20 bucks, so it would be about the same. But I would much rather use prothanes.

So do you think it matters between 4g63 to 420a for the prothanes? Just I just go for the prothanes?

I noticed this also, but when I checked some of the vendors sites they said for manual transmission only thats why I was under the impression they would not work on the automatic. Sorry that I misinformed you, I didnt want you to shell out $75 only to find out they would not work. However, since Paul Volk confirmed that they will work on automatics the prothanes may be a good choice for you.
