Hello XJ folks,
I noticed my exhaust head-pipe was resting on the cross-member, so I gently jacked on the pipe/catalytic converter mount (tied to the transmission) and the trans comes right up off the cross-member and the rubber there looks all rotten.
Well I did some looking around on the retailers I am aware of and I have not been able to locate a Poly trans mount for my AW4 '91 XJ.
There are plenty of sites which offer Poly trans mounts, but the years never match up and the mount looks like the wrong shape for my year, or does not show available.
As long as I am doing the trans I will swap motor mounts too, and I understand all three mounts are prone to failure if any harsh driving - is this right?
Is there a high quality rubber set available? I would prefer quality rubber so I don't have any more vibration than now - I've got enough of that already. hehe Anyhoo, what do you all prefer and have time tested?
Thank you!
