Transmission mount?

[Ldub]

so.. what happened to your transmission mounts (both of you?)

After reading elsewhere in the forums about another member (Joe Black) who cured his "clunk" noise by replacing the trans. mount, I couldn't NOT take it all apart to see (that wasn't it)...figured as long as I had it out, WTH, might as well pin that sucker solid & never give it another thought...

That lead me to the conclusion that I probably have a broken motor mount, I'll be getting to that "whenever"...maybe even before Moab...

I also have a suspicion that the mounts for the lower links have become egg shaped from violent acceleration & braking...another thing I'm gonna have to look into one of these days.

After several months of use & abuse, it turns out 1/4" bolts aren't beefy enough. The torque load has sheared off both of the bolts I had in there.

Looks like I've got another project to get done before the snow flies... (gonna upgrade to 3/8 or 1/2")

I replaced the trans mount and both engine mounts just before Moab. The replacements from Merlin were beefier than the ones that came with the VX, so it must have been an issue that was fixed by Isuzu.

All three beefier?

Yep. All of them. My mechanic (Espo) had a bit of a hard time fitting one or more because the rubber was so much thicker. Even the new trans. filter I got was improved for more flow. Isuzu must have been tweaking things over the last 8 years. Nice to know the replacement parts are even better than the originals!

Oh... and yes, Merlin can hook you up with everything.

How much for all 3, or if you have a break-down, how much each?
Thanks!
