Why are hydraulic engine mounts for automatic cars more costly than manual? 700 1990

At fcpgroton the price of hydraulic motor mounts for cars with automatic is around $40.

The manual transmission motor mounts are less than $10/each.

Why do automatics need these special mounts?

I'm going to bite the bullet and spend $90+ on mounts, but it sure makes me wish I had a manual instead and I'd be spending $20 or so.

I'm sure I'll feel much better when my car runs like it's supposed to though.

    I have a '88 turbo with M46 5 spd and it has the hydraulic mounts also. Used to have a '89 nonturbo 5 spd (M47 w/o OD) and it had the cheaper solid rubber mounts. Hanging the turbo on the side of the engine may have caused more vibration requiring the hydraulic mounts???
