you will get a lot more help with your problem if we can understand it.

What is “but the rp rateing on transmission showed a possible proble.”

For the occasional hesitation, have the spark plugs, air filter, pcv valve changed. Use a carb and throttle body spray cleaner to clean the idle air control valve pintle and air passage, the throttle valve plate and bore. Have the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor cleaned with a MAF cleaner. The engine mount change was for the vibration; not, for the hesitation.
