Picked up a vibration in my 87.While tinkering on the engine I took 5 steps,turned back and low and behold the motor was leaning to the passenger side.Upon further inspection I found that I have a broken motor mount.Does anyone make "better" mounts like say,Energy Suspension for our trucks? edit I did a search after I posted and found poly mounts sorry
how hard is the tranny mount to install i just replaced me engine mounts(more like install since there were none when i bought the truck. i already have the tranny mount just no clue where it is or how to put it in.
It's easy, it goes at the end of the trans, 3 or 5 bolts, can't remember. Take the weight off the trans w/ a jack (use a piece of board under the pan if it's an auto), take the big through bolt out, jack it up as far as you can, remove the bolts holding it to the trans. Replace in reverse order.
i had both motor mounts and transmission mount replaced in March.i checked around before i bought mine.the motor mounts were about $10.00 each(advance,autozone etc).i got them at rock auto for $3.00 each and with shipping it still was cheaper.i cant remember the price of the trans mount
Thanks for the reply.I was wondering how hard the actual job was. I called a local shop, and they quoted about 200 bucks. I assumed I'd have lift the engine , so I'd have to build an A-frame lift of some sort(out of wood in my case) Just trying to deciide if its worth doing it myself or not.
You don't need a lift, just jack up the engine a little and unbolt the engine mounts. It is a very simple job. And $200 is a rip off specially since the mount only cost $4.50 each at NAPA.
Eggman i'm a dealer for energy suspension and i know that we have GM mounts and universal mounts. nothing that is directly sooted for out trucks check out www.energysuspension.com to see what we offer.
when i had the stuff done to my truck it was $160.00 labor.i had motor mounts 2,trans mount,drag link,front brakes,rotors turned,brake caliper 1,pipe from muffler back,wheel bearings
