its the stock one.i replaced the motormounts recently and they were completely gone.i can push up on my tranfercase about 3/8 of an inch or so.should there be that much play?is there a stronger one out there?
 
there is a poly one available i believe but if you drive your XJ every day you will hate it. its harder than rubber, almost a hard plastic, and it doesnt absorb vibrations from the drivetrain as well as the stock mount does. most people put them in and cant stand the vibes so they take em back out.

if you've never changed it, its probably bad. they dont last very long when you wheel your rig, especially with bad motor mounts.
 
thanks for the info!autozone wants 55 bux is that worth it or should i go with a factory stock?

I would go with cheap stock tranny mount and spend some money on good motor mounts (M.O.R.E.).

i agree with john.

usually the motor mounts go, let the motor and trans move around excessively, and it tears the tranny mount. get good motor mounts that wont fail like that, and the stock tranny mount setup will be just fine.

It should be $32 at Autozone (Anchor brand)! I just bought another 2 days ago (buggered up the threads

EDIT: Oh, maybe you meant a Poly one? :dunno:

If you have a way to jack the tranny up about 5 inches higher than it is when sitting on the cross member. Maybe even higher if the depression is deeper than a couple inches

ok.....mine has no depression so i think ill just have to bring it up the amount of the thred sticking thru the bottom.
