    Installing backup camera

    Thanks for the tips and the walkthrough! Your post answered my q’s of where to run the wires and where to tap in. I will be installing a bullet style in the bumper next week.

    First time TJ owner: question on transmission mount

    Yeah recessed makes more sense. But in the videos I watched they were not recessed. Example: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vTURQiFnU_U&ved=2ahUKEwil-cbL2c_zAhV7gnIEHQr0DtMQwqsBegQIBRAF&usg=AOvVaw2sWbG7m5OS0M3Qw9aWA8DG

    First time TJ owner: question on transmission mount

    I got the new transmission mount installed and first gear starts are way smoother! Almost no shake and no audible noises. Good stuff! By the way one thing that threw me is all the videos I have seen online show the transmission mount bolts coming through the skid. But on my 97 they are resessed.

    First time TJ owner: question on transmission mount

    Well I took off the old transmission mount. It didn't look terrible: It is definitely less rigid than the replacement. But it takes both hands to wiggle it. Gonna install the new one anyway and see what I get.

    First time TJ owner: question on transmission mount

    Today I test drive some more and I did hear some clattering if I don't feather the clutch. I did not notice the transfer case shifter move but I will pay closer attention to it next time. And I will start the pb blaster treatment today. Thanks for the advice!

    Thanks I checked the motor mounts and they look new. The transmission mount does look rough and I have ordered a replacement.

    This guy has it: and I am an idiot :) I wasn't looking far enough back. I apologize for the confusion I have caused :). Now back to figuring out first gear shimmies.

    First time TJ owner: question on transmission mount

    The guy I bought it from was not a mechanic to put it lightly so his explanation was poor. I would have loved more detail. But car fax does show the engine replaced with cat, water pump etc.

    First time TJ owner: question on transmission mount

    It looks to me like the 4 mounting bolts were reinstalled into the transmission without the mount. But I will check closely for welds (please dear God no!).

    First time TJ owner: question on transmission mount

    New owner here. I recently bought a 1997 TJ 4.0l manual. Very few modifications. Recent motor replacement due to a failed cat. Taking off in first is a little jumpy unless I really feather the clutch. I thought this was just something I would figure out as I became more used to the clutch. But...
