The 3 mounts (2 engine & 1 for the trans.), trans. filter, and new gasket were about $330 with shipping & everything.

Finally gave myself a kick in the pants & decided to get after the "beef up the tranny mount" mod...
Had all the skid plates & the cross member dropped before TLMP had french toast on the table this morning...Drool
(I swear the woman must think pot bellies are sexy or sumpin....
)
After ........., we went to the hardware, & picked up some 1/2" grade 8 bolts of the five inch variety.
If you care to read earlier posts in this thread, you'll see where they go.(the original 1/4" grade 8's sheared off...)
After re-drilling the mount, from 1/4" to 1/2", & hammering the bolts through, I loctite'd the nuts on & reassembled it all...with more loctite on every bolt of course...
Just got back from a test drive & DUB'S A HAPPY CAMPER!(test driven in city & highway conditions)
Not only is 96+% of the "clunk" gone, but the weird indescribable whirring (yeah, I know, I just described it, but thas not exactly it) noise is GONE!...
Another couple things...slight engine vibration can now be felt in the steering wheel while sitting at a stop, in gear.
Not unexpected, as this is now a solid mount.
And as a bonus, I found a couple of thimble fulls of sacred soil (Moab cinnamon) in my hide-a-key thingy, that I keep...
Woops, you almost had me...![]()
