Bad trans Mount???
right I don’t understand that. But what’s funny is all the aftermarket trans pans- the drain plug is on the side the transmission leans too. So that leads me to believe they are supposed to have a lean to them. -
Bad trans Mount???
No shit, that’s strange. Well makes me feel better now 😂 I wander why they sit like that- it blows my mind. -
Bad trans Mount???
the truck itself doesn’t appear to be leaning, Just looks like the transmission is leaning. I’m trying to figure out why and if this is a normal look. The only way I’d be able to confirm if it’s normal is if someone else posts the exact same picture I have posted. -
Bad trans Mount???
Okay, I have a buddy that has an LB7 I’m going to look at his truck and compare it to mine. These pictures are from the front end, it’s not leaning towards the passenger side at all, it’s leaning towards the driver side. -
Bad trans Mount???
yeah that’s next on the list. I wasn’t to worried about it since it wasn’t affecting anything. Not sure what this has to do with my question though. Does my transmission look like it’s leaning? Are they supposed to look like that? Am I delusional 😂 -
Bad trans Mount???
New transmission mount & crossmember, new merchant automotive engine mounts. Something still seems off, maybe it’s just me and I’m being OCD but it looks like it’s still leaning. Are they supposed to lean like this? Some post an underside picture of their truck for me to reference, please!!! -
Bad trans Mount???
so the trans pan looks level to you? maybe the bent crossmember is creating an optical illusion -
Bad trans Mount???
Well I did the mounts myself and while it wasn’t to bad of a job, The alignment part was a bitch. I got all the holes to line up perfect on the passenger side mount, however on the driver side mount I could only get 2 out of 3 to line up. I tried everything I could being I was a one man wrecking... -

Alright! I may call a dealership just to see what they would charge. I’ve done so much work to the truck the past few weeks I’m just exhausted between that and working 65+ hrs a week. -

How in the world did you fit an impact between the frame rail and the engine? -
Bad trans Mount???
Well I did a thorough check of my engine mounts this weekend, everything looks good. I went as far as putting a jack under the engine to see if it would move at all and there’s absolutely no movement. I think my issue here is the bent transmission crossmember. If you look closely at the... -
Bad trans Mount???
The old stuff did leak. It’s now got a PSC gearbox, 2011 hydro boost, new master cylinder. A majority of that wet shit is from when I was bleeding the system, I overfilled the power steering reservoir. -
Bad trans Mount???
Here’s two pictures of my drivers side mount. From what I can tell, the frame side of things look solid, not damaged or missing any bolts. That doesn’t mean the mount itself is still good though. -
Bad trans Mount???
Same procedure for the passenger side too? Which side is easier? I’ll be doing both sides regardless, I’m thinking the merchant automotive mounts as well. -
Bad trans Mount???
Oh I’m sure there not. However they cannot be that difficult I hope. -
Bad trans Mount???
Alright I’ll check them out. On a scale of 1-10, how difficult are they to replace? I’m pretty mechanically inclined so I try to do all of the work I can myself. I have the necessary tools to do the job besides and engine hoist. Any tips you can give me would be much appreciated! -
Bad trans Mount???
i understand! I guess a starting point would be to inspect the mounts and the mounting points of the frame. Are these trucks known for busting the motor mounts on the frame side? As far as I am aware the truck has never been in an accident. -
Bad trans Mount???
I don’t doubt the engine mounts are wore out. The truck has 280k miles.What leads you to believe I have metal mount issues?
