While not a pleasure cruise by any means I don't see any reason why changing the trans mount isn't fully DIY-able.
You'll need to support the weight of the transmission and take the tension off the spring....a small floor jack does the trick. After that it's a matter of disassembly and reassembly. The exhaust pipes might hamper access ....my memory is a bit foggy on that. If so, they'll have to be disconnected and allowed to drop down.
Here's a pic....

#5 in the illustration is the key ingrendient, so to speak, but I'd order and replace all the rubber parts just on general principles. Get it all over and done with at once.
