Well this was long over due.

I knew the trans mount was toast as i could see it was smooched while doing oil changes. I also knew that it was causing crazy vibration but didn't know it was this bad.



Broken mount still attached after removing the crossmember.



I was completely detached from it self. Still stuck on the cross member comparing to new.





Anyone else have it just fall apart this bad? It is a huge difference. It feels great to push on the gas now. No more shaky. Such a cheap and easy fix, i should have done it sooner.

from working on cars ive seen some pretty bad mounts. pretty much in the same condition, where either the motor or trans is just laying on it

lol if your really on a budget maybe, but if its already a cheap part no point in trying

Ya dont think that would really hold. Plus the rubber is pretty flattened which i think caused even more movement and eventually cracked.

Super cheap purchase, $40

How many tranny mounts are there? And how many engine mounts? And should I go with OEM or any aftermarket would do? Thanks.

omarg

i would go oem. its the cheapest at parts.com

ck90211

Thanks. Parts.com says engine has front and rear mounts, so I presume that is 1 each. But can't find transmission mount under transmission. Would it be the rear engine mount?

Yes, the tranny mount is listed as the rear engine mount. You need one rear mount for the tranny and the two front mounts.

Too bad it's 2 of the pricier one. Just curious what year is your LS? My is a 95. Gone through Lexus Service Manual for 95 LS but could not find an illustration of engine/transmission assembly, so had to ask you here. Thanks.

JimsGX

Mine's a 91 but here's the exploded view of the 1995 mounts. You need two 12361-50010 and one 12371-50060...

when i got new moter and tranny mounts on my sc400 i couldnt believe it was the same car. It was so much smoother

Mine was bad. I changed it at 220K and I am sure it was original. I bought mine online for $63. It was OEM Toyota.... about 15 minutes to change if I recall?

See what I mean....

Jrezo

I did mine at 230k

Yours dont seem as bad. No major cracking from what i can see. But yes, major smash going on.
