Hey guys,
Got tired of my old sagging rubber transmission mount on my 96 4x4. Even a new OEM one sagged quite quickly (within a few months), both when sagging threw off my driveshaft slope and caused a lot of unnecessary vibration
I got a new polyurethane mount from Energy Suspension (part no 4.1148 for my application) and just wanted to say these are a HUGE improvement for any 93-97 Ranger. The difference is like night and day.
-eliminated all vibration associated with crappy rubber mount
-didn't compromise my driveshaft slope/pinion angle (came back to where it was set up with brand new rubber mount)
-virtually no movement of transmission over bad roads, during shifts, acceleration; I could see the transmission moving around quite a bit before
-shifts are more positive than they were with even the new rubber bushing, which got shot very quickly
Would highly recommend using the Energy Suspension mount if you need to replace yours. You won't be disappointed. Not even that much more expensive than a crappy local auto parts store replacement mount. Just wanted to share my positive experience with it
