Loose Transmission Mount

[SMOKINGZ28]

I went to gm goodwrench because i had a rattling sound by my trans well they said i got a loose trans mount how hard would that be able to fix? they said the price starts at 80 bucks and then well go from there. so is it possible to repair i have a 95 z28 with a automatic trans.

I know things a little tighter on a 4th gen, but on a 3rd gen, it's a piece of cake.

[SMOKINGZ28]

so how hard was it? how long did it take?

[wrightz28]

Merely a matter of jacking up the trans a bit and manipulating a few bolts. It was under a half hour.

so i think i'm going to attempt it then, i got the manual at home so that should help, now damn i wish it wasn't dropped two inches

I had this problem a little while ago, go to Advanced Auto or Autozone and get a mount, it should be no more than $10-15. Jack the car up, put it on jackstands, put the jack under the tailshaft of the tranny to hold it up, then take off the 4 bolts that hold the crossmember to the chassis, and i think it was 1 or 2 that held the mount itself to the crossmember. Install is opposite of that. Once you're under there, everything is much clearer.

I called gm goodwrench to ask them what mount was loose and they told me they had tightened up the mount. The reason i was hearing noise was because my left exhaust mount broke and was hitting the crossmember on my lunch break i went to a muffler shop down the street and they repaired it for 10 bucks,

you shoudl switch to a poly tranny mount anyway. Since you have a v8 it'll take you a half hour if you work slow as all hell, it's not too expensive, it'll last, and it'll firm up teh car a little bit
