Transmission mount DIY for 3.0

But I do get a unnerving vibration while cruising or accelerating around 60-70mph, but not all the time. I just attributed it to the engine mounts which will be replaced soon.

I was having vibrations and a shimmy when accelerating uphill from 25-40mph, it felt as if it were pulsing. In the past I replaced my motor mounts as well while i was doing the oil pan gasket. So much easier to replace them with the subframe dropped down. Best of luck tracing down your vibrations!

Hi Kman, I am going to have a go at this this weekend. Did you have to remove/disassemble the exhaust at any stage? The instructions say to do so before taking off the crossmember, but if you were able to do so without taking off the exhaust I would like to know how.

Thank you!
