The timing on this video is perfect. Was just thinking about my trans mount being about 20 years old, it’s definitely time to replace. Great walkthrough!
a motorcycle jack would go a long way with a jeep. nice platform to rest skid plates or help install gas tanks etc. love the channel, it has helped me more than you know! keep up the great vids!
@@mgregory7409 thanks man! I have often thought about picking one up just for the reasons you mentioned. But it's the classic case of I already have these tools and I know I can make it work, so I just haven't made myself make the purchase yet lol.
@@zekeisme1 sorry. I'm not sure the camera would have really shown it. But for what it's worth I didn't notice much. It actually felt better than before I changed it but my orginal one was in bad shape.
I dont get it. Why are there bolts coming out of the bottom if they dont grip the skidplate? Ive seen some mounts have bolts that come out of the bottom and theyre washered and tightened down onto the skid plate, and some that are basically floating between the skid plate and transmission….i have HUGE vibrations after a shop installed a new poly mount and attached it with washers/nuts under the pan…
@@dylandog1289 the bolts that come down do grip the skid plate with the nuts. My skid just has a recessed plate that's hard to see that allows the bolt heads to sit inside of the skid so they won't get caught on things off roading. I'm not sure why you would now have huge amount of vibration. Maybe the trans mount is working great but your old worn out one was masking some other driveline vibrations because it could move more?
@@WheelinWithWally Ah, then different years have different plates. Mine is a single plate with no recessed secondary plate so my bolts are exposed a bit. I noticed my bolts are at the extreme of the slot in the plate indicsting possible misalignment. Every other photo ive seen has the bolts in the center of the slots. The shop didnt remove the skidplate ao they may have made the mount flex to “finish” the job, but it may be putting force on the trans…
@@dylandog1289 my skid is an aftermarket one. That could be but I wouldn't imagine that would be the cause. You could always put a jack under the transmission and support it. Then loosen the trans mount bolts and see how it looks. Mine is fairly smooth but I've added so many mods and large mud tires it's definitely not a Cadillac. Do you have a lift or aftermarket parts? I still wonder if something else is causing the vibration and now you are just feeling it more because the new trans mount is transferring vibration more than the old one.
