So I order an engine/trans mount kit via Rock Auto, this was the best option for postage, with me being in Australia

trans mount visually has thinner rubber sections, I put it in anyway, it was near nightfall... TX now bangs on the Xmbr

I do have another new one in my spare, so I will have to now take that one for my DD, and put the used one in it

The "new" one is not fit for purpose !

tomorrow I will do this job and take pics

think I will send pics and complaint to Rock Auto and ask for a credit

difficult to change ranges when they sink down

 

There is a cheapie replacement provided that seems to be like the one you got.....

 

yes, it is a POS,

swapped everything around, my DD now has a "good" new one from the smashed one, it has the old part.

made a little vid...stand on the mount and bounce up & down, the good or old OEM style dont move at all, the POS one bounces up & down like a tennis ball

They look much the same, except the quality new rubber item has more rubber than the OEM item, and sits a fraction higher

clearance between TX and bash plate now ~1"...as opposed to cant get a finger in between before

so the problem is mainly poor quality rubber, which makes me think I will not fit the engine mounts

...and yes...you pay for what you get..in this case anyway
