Default Engine Mounts v. Transmission Mounts. Confusion

Are engine mounts the same as transmission mounts?

I've looked up tech articles and did searches on PureMS and I don't see the difference.

Here's the link from my PureMS search.

http://www.purems.com/products/products.php?sbt=1

I also noticed "Drivetrain Stablizer" and "Differential Mounts." I understand the drivetrain stablizer from the install instructions provided at he site, but the differential mounts looks like the bracket that holds the engine mounts to the frame/subframe.

Feeback appreciated.

Default Engine mounts hold the engine. There are two, one on each side. The tranny mounts...

...hold the transmission to the car, one on each side. Then there's the snub mount, up front of the engine securing it to the lock carrier thing.

These 5 mounts basically secure the engine/transmission assembly to the vehicle.
