I have this same issue after installing my Anchor transmission mount. It isn't near as bad as yours. Did anyone find a mount besides the $100+ mopar one. I can't afford to spend that much on a mount. I am considering just buying another Anchor mount and see if that helps or just let this one settle down some over time. AFter the engine warms up some and the rpms change it goes away for the most part.

How do your motor mounts look? They are notorious for going bad, I just replaced my motor mounts with brown dogs and an anchor tranny mount over the weekend. Feels like a whole new jeep, then again my motor mounts literally fell apart when I took them out.

I actually replaced my motor mounts a few months before i did the transmission mount. I just did the cheap anchor mounts for now though. They did seem a little loose soon after i changed the transmission mount so I retightened them hoping it would help but it didn't.

The anchor mount is trash. I replaced my stock mount with anchor and 3 days later took the anchor out. Go to napa and get their DRIVETECH brand mount.
Hey guys, it looks like a lot of us are due for a transmission mount replacement. I read that some of you are paying $100-$140 for an OEM Mopar mount, that's crazy expensive!
Here's a link to the OEM Mopar Transmission Mount for $50 shipped! I just replaced my old warn out one and it made such a difference in the ride. I have a '99 Jeep Cherokee Sport
i replaced the transmission mount yesterday with the Anchor brand for 37$ from Oreilly and big difference in vibration.. there is still a very small vibration but think that is coming from somewhere else.
i read to replace motor and transmission mount all at the same time and i didnt cause clearly on the picture you can see all the oil that splashed onto the transmission mount leak from the transmission oil pan desolved the rubber quite a bit and looking at the motor mounts which arent splashed with oil and dont show any cracks i didnt replace the motor mounts.

no it us that mount. It is garbage. You're going to need to go oem or go to Napa and get their drivetech mount. The anchor is known to not be high quality and caused me the same headache as you before I replaced it with the Napa unit.
after reading this im wondering if my new anchor tranny mount is the source of my vibes in gear... I replaced my motor mounts with brown dogs the same time I did the tranny mount. in park the vibes aren't terrible, they've mellowed out- but in drive and reverse at low rpms(take off/backing out of a parking spot) theyre pretty aggressive.

Yes. You are describing the conditions under which it is likely to present itself. Low rpm, high torque. Which rotates the engine, and the exhaust pipe wants to lower and makes contact with the cross member. The anchor mount is not substantial enough (in height, nor in firmness) to keep that from happening.
After I swapped out a brand new Anchor mount for an OEM, I posted here with pictures showing just how shoddy the Anchor mount was compared to one that meets the OEM specs. Even just visually, you could see that it was a fraction of the rubber and metal that an OEM spec mount should have. The product is crap and not fit for service.
so the napa mount seems to be the only reliable option? or is the crown mount decent?
im going to be adjusting my brown dog motor mounts in hopes it helps my current vibes, but that rattle/knock doing idle I doubt will go away as its the shorter anchor mount causing the exhaust to hit the crossmember.... am I right?
