My transmission mount has not dry rotted or torn but does have some play in when I put up on the t-case. My question is can a rubber transmission mount become soft and allow too much movement when it gets old? My 97 XJ has it's original mount and is now 14 years old with 200,000 miles on it.
I have been battling cracked headers for a while now (I think I just cracked number 8). I have replaced both motor mounts with stock rubber replacements from the dealership. I have also added a flex pipe to the down pipe. I also had polyurethane motor mounts on it at one point and it still cracked but the poly mounts transmitted too many engine vibs into the chassis for my taste. The vibs made every rattle and creak in the jeep go crazy when idling in traffic. So with my ADD it about drove me insane.
I thought about maybe a poly trans mount but after my previous experience explained above with poly mounts, I am worried a similar situation will happen.
Any thoughts?
