    Tranny Mount Replacement

    How difficult is it to replace a tranny mount on an auto transmission?

    I think I just lost my second mount on my '96. Theres a low pitch rattle on engine start up and it's in the drive shaft tunnel just to the right of my rear seat rest. Only seam to hear it on startup and sometimes in 1st at a stop. I won't be able to take a good look under there till next week. All I have a jack and a couple stands to get it in the air, but only basic tools.

    Pretty easy to do man. Get the front of the car up and on jack stands, support the tail shaft of the tranny with the jack, loosen the tranny mount bolt directly in the middle of the tranny crossmember, Take of the tranny crossmember, them remove the mount from the transmission. Then put it all back together reverse directions.

    SFC( not sure what kind), drilled/slotted rotors, K&N air filter, all free mods, 3" Borla cat back exaust, electric exaust cut out, NGK spark plugs, royal purple motor oil, and Zaino .Maybe more. I find more stuff done to it everytime I look at it.

      To remove and replace the tranny mount is fairly easy. Unbolt the nut from the tranny mount and the tranny brace. Jack the tranny up and unbolt the two screws from the tranny and the mount. Reverse the process and you're done.

          Is there a distinct "clunking" sound when you accelerate fast or stop a bit harder? Does that sound come from under your center console? Your tranny mount holds the tailshaft of your trans in place. When this mount breaks, the tailshaft of your tranny will hit the underside of your car when you accelerate or brake harder. If you're not getting this, it's possible it may be something else.

          Just a thought

            Hmmm...I wasn't too clear on where the sound was coming from. It's just to the right of the driver's seat back. I'll find out for sure when I get under there.
