Hi there,


I recently tried to replace the tranny mount on my 88 Dodge Raider, 2.6 with auto transmission.


I bought the part online, but the part I received did not match the mount on the vehicle. When I searched online, every part pictured was identical to the part I received, which definitely does NOT fit.


Were there more than one transmission used on these vehicles? And, if so, does anyone have any idea where the correct mount might be sourced?


Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks,
Watchman

 

there were 3 different transmissions used do you have a picture of your mount ?

 

I don't have any pictures, but I should be able to get one tomorrow.


The mount I'm looking for would have the rubber parts spaced about two finger widths apart, while the one I was shipped has those same rubber parts (pillars?) spaced about four finger widths apart.


I will try to get pictures tomorrow - the original is still in the vehicle.
It isn't broken, but the rubber is soft and looks to be squashed a little, like a marshmallow. This has resulted in a strange sound when going over rough terrain, and also vibration in the shifters while driving down the road.


Thanks for the response! I knew there must have been more than one automatic tranny used...

If you look at the auto tranny mount in your O'Reilly's link, that one is identical to the mount I was shipped that doesn't fit. The rubber pillars are closer together on my truck, and do not have the "U" shaped stiffener between them. Also, the raised "hump" on the top of the mount would need to be flat, or the tranny would ride high enough to hit the transmission tunnel! It definitely is also not the manual mount shown either.


I scrolled down your original link as well, and didn't see anything that looked right.
I will see if I can get some pictures today. Thanks for the help!
