OK... so I picked up the other day a tranny mount from kragen... it was pretty inexpensive ($38) and looked decent enough. When I put it in, my XJ hated it..... It gave me an odd sudder/vibration effect (hard to decribe). So I pulled the new one out and compared it to the old one... and I saw some differences but I put that off on the old one being worn (the differences were height and angle).
Then I put the old one in... and go to the dealers to pickup an oem one (cost me only $45) and I noticed simlar differences:
Biggest thing that I saw was that the oem one is angled: one edge is not the same height as the other (about 1/4" to almost 1/2" difference). This ends up giving the tranny and the shaft a nice downward angle.
Also the Kragen rubber seemed to be very HARD which probably resulted in some extra vibratiosn being transferred to the body.
In any case, I put the new oem one in and my XJ couldn't be happier
