the persistence of trans mount bushings (or not)

ackphtMember

My transmission mount bushings seem to be melting. These are the red polyurethane bushings that the car had on it when I got it last fall.

One bushing has squeezed out of the mount like toothpaste- the others are soft to the touch, and gooey red material comes off on your fingers.

I assume this is heat related- is this indicative of some unusual condition with the trans? It seems to operate fine, other than an occasional reluctance to go into third if you don't pull the shifter all the way back in the gate.

What type of bushing should I be using?
