Any good aftermarket transmission mounts?

    My rear transmission mount on my 2002 Double Cab appears to be pretty worn out. I am getting more movement and some minor clunking at times and I think it is related to this. I've read in general that aftermarket transmission and motor mounts are garbage and not worth fooling with and to ONLY use OEM. Or course, a single OEM transmission mount is over $100. Compared to $20-30 on Rockauto.

    So I'm asking this community: even if aftermarket transmission mounts in general are garbage, is anyone aware of any for a 2002 PreRunner that are as good as OE for less money?

    This is the part:

    Thanks!

    That does seem reasonable...but the part number concerns me. When I look up that part number it is a rear engine mount, not a transmission mount. And it doesn't quite look the same.

    Edit... he's got a double cab... duh. Sorry

    Pretty sure 4x Innovations is only for Manual Trans. I just did a 4x swap and looked for a upgrade aftermarket for an AT mount. There really aren't any.

    Yeah, I'm not seeing any upgraded AT mounts. To be clear, it is a 2002 Double Cab PreRunner V6 AT. Which yeah, I think they only made automatics in that flavor. So if anyone has replaced their factory mount with aftermarket and had good longevity, I'm interested in what you used. I'm not thrilled about spending over $100 for a mount unless I really have no good options.

    F-n weld the sob! At least it will be cheaper to fab a couple tabs and get em in... That will let you know if it was bad, the rubber separates but it isn’t usually a big deal unless it’s totally disconnected and you will feel it.

    I don't believe it really matters. The two I linked above are rated as being manufactured and designed to meet OEM specifications. When you look at the OEM transmission mount, you see that it's not much in terms of complexity and design. The Beck/Arnley one I linked looks almost identical to OEM. They also specify that they use "premium materials" and I have also had good experiences with their products in the past. I'd go with that one

    Look on you tube there is a way to make your mount poly pretty easy and it is a few bucks, you can make your mount super bulletproof.

    Beck Arnley ain’t bad at all but you can’t go wrong with stock parts.
