Today I changed the transmission pan and gasket because it was leaking, and while doing it, I noticed the mount was shot. I didn't have time to order one, so I bought one at a local parts store. It's supposed to be rubber. I tightened the mount to the tranny since you can't get to it later, got the skid plate up enough to finger tighten the 4 nuts, then had trouble getting the skid plate to line up, so I used a pointed pry bar to get the skid plate in place to get the bolts started. I tightened passenger side first, then managed to get the drivers side in using the same pry bar, then I tightened down the 4 tranny mount nuts in the skid.
I started the Jeep and have massive in cabin vibration in gear. Should I loosen the 4 tranny mount nuts, and the 6 skid plate bolts, put it in gear to let things settle in, then tighten down all of the above? Or should I have not tightened the mount to the tranny? It doesn't seem like you can tighten the mount to the tranny after the skid plate is in place.
I feel like it is tightened down, but not in it's neutral happy place.
