Jeep XJ AW4 1996 version. TO UPDATE!

I installed this on my 1996 Jeep Cherokee with the AW4 automatic transmission. Fits almost perfectly. It fits perfectly where it needs to BUT the interfaces between the gearbox and the cross member are perfectly parallel. This vehicle's engine and transmission are of course slightly tilted, which means the 'part' of this transmission interface mount needs to be tilted as well. It's nothing that leaves a gap between the gearbox and this mount. I don't know if that will be a problem for me or not. I'm impressed with this mount, just cautiously optimistic based on what I saw when I installed it. The bracket is strong and prevents flexing of the transmission. Adds good vibes to the cockpit, but I also use similar engine mounts. My jeep has standard drive angles when it comes to this prop. If you have a transfer case I would not recommend this mount at all. (and I recommend you buy a CV driveshaft) Update: I removed this mount because the vibration combined with heavy motor mounts is too much for me. But that is not the reason why I gave 1 star. I have upgraded my rating to 1 star due to the lack of mounting bracket mentioned above. This caused the mounting bolts to flex closer to alignment when tightened and actually installed into the Jeep. The screws that do this illustrate my point about the bracket not sitting flush. I will attach photos.

Pros
  • Quality finish
Cons
