I have read about 50 threads and can't find the most basic information. I NEED THE PART # FOR THE MOTOR MOUNTS FOR A 1995 SC400 with Automatic Transmission. That is all I NEED.
I do NOT want part #'s for SC300 mounts, solid mounts , hockey pucks, TRD mounts, any year other than 1995, aftermarket mounts etc. etc. Is it true that Toyota and Lexus use the same mounts but have different part #'s, if so, what are they? If there is any difference I want the LEXUS part #, not the Toyota part#. I am going to put a transmission mount on for general principles, but how can I tell if my 1995 SC400 with 140,000 miles needs motor mounts? Thank you. Jim in MD

First you spend a paragraph saying that you NEED motor mounts, and then you finish it up by asking how to tell if you need motor mounts? WTF over?

That said, I would also like to know how one would tell if one had bad motor mounts.

After reading the posts about transmission mounts for the SC400, there seemed to be general agreement that the tranny mount for that age and mileage SC400 almost always needed to be replaced, so as I stated, I bought one on general principles. After reading many posts on the motor mounts, there did not appear to be any unanimity of opinion that a 95 SC400 with 140,000 usually required them. Therefore, given that they are more expensive and a pain to install, I thought I would inquire of the bb what the signs were that indicated a need for these mounts, and it didn't seem to make much sense to ask about the signs that a motor mount was needed, and then based on those responses, to use another post to get the part #.
Also, although I am pretty confident based on past experiences that I could determine if MM's were needed, in as much as it is my son's car and I haven't driven it recently, I thought it might be helpful if someone else would explain what the signs were that MM's were needed so that I could pass that along to my son as well.

Gotcha. I'd still be interested in how to tell if they're bad, although at 218K I guarantee mine are shot.
