Default New Trans mount

So today I installed a new transmission mount on my 93 4.0 AW4. All went fine until I tightened up on the 4 nuts that tie the mount and cross member together. I snapped one of the studs. Tomorrow I will be going back to NAPA to see if they can take care of me and toss me a new one. If not I will buy a new one once funds allow, most likely after Christmas.

My question is if they cant hook me up do you think I'll be fine with the three remaining studs? Or get my butt back under the Jeep quick and with a new mount?

I took it on a test drive and it feels great(I would recommend this to anyone, just don't over tighten)

You will be fine,if they do give you another then I would just keep it as a spare,you will notice when it is time to change it,it is proabably better now than it was.

Thanks for the quick response. Thats a good idea to keep it for a spare.

And as far as being better you have no idea(unless you do).
No more cracking noises and smother acceleration, all and all a huge upgrade
