STERLING STINGER Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 any threads here on how to replace a trani mount? thanks paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 It is about as basic as swapping out your oil. Support the transmission, pull the crossmember, unbolt transmission mount, put new transmission mount in, and replace the crossmember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88 Beast Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I replaced mine without dropping crossmember. Just jack trans. up far enough to clear the crossmember. Piece of cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleag89 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Hey Paul, make sure you buy a decent mount. I bought one for $35 from Advance auto parts about 3 months ago and it just started making creaky and squeaky noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't lift my transmission enough to get in there on my XJ or my MJ (with the modified floor pan). No biggie. The crossmember adds an additional 15 minutes or so.

Northup Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 does it only make the sound while moving or traveling over a bump? I had a similar sound on my YJ replaced the shocks and tranny mount. Found out the sound was coming from my track bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northup Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 can you tell if the sound is coming from the rear or the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleag89 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Not to Hi jack but mine is doing this too.. Thought it was the cheap trans mount I got from Advance auto parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 it sounds to me like its right in the middle, where youd rest your right arm while driving....I'm leaning towards control arms but idk for sure. i don't wanna have to replace the track bar cuz it seems fine. :dunno: it only makes the sound while traveling over a bump.

CWLONGSHOT Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 This is where uni-bodys SUK!!! They transmit noises to the far reaches of the body... making diagnosis darn near impossible.... That being said, CAs are a good guess. If your gonna stay with stock arms, don't even think of replacing the bushings... Complete factory arms, with bushings are not very expensive!! As a mater of fact, if you do have me weld up your links, I have a couple sets of upper CAs. I'll throw two of the best ones in the box for the return trip...
