If you are going to use solid engine mounts then you should also use a solid trans mount. Assuming that the Lakewood trans mount is not a solid mount, then the way you have it now allows the trans to "flex" in its mount while the engine can not flex causing a great increase in the forces at the trans mount.
Either mount the engine and
the trans solid or
mount them all in rubber.
