Back to Luxury: Engine and Transmission Mounts 100 Series Land Cruiser

[@khhk2004]

This series is a goldmine. Thank you 🙏

[@Paultruesdale]

it really is, these repairs are very doable and his videos give me the confidence I need to proceed on my one with 295K

[@khhk2004]

@@Paultruesdale I feel the same way. Although mine has only 180km we live Nicaragua and travel predominantly on corrugated dirt roads. I will do every single repair in this series

[@paultruesdale7768]

Ordered these today. I hope that in my 07 with les miles than my 2005 it makes the groaning at idle go away. I think after watching this that they must be worn. I have a little vibration at stop but I also hear a moan that my 2005 doesn’t have. Thanks again.

[@JungleCatt]

Sounds like it could be the mounts. Do you have any mods to the exhaust on the 07? The harmonics on the 100 series are very complex, sometimes aftermarket mufflers don’t come with the dampener which can cause vibrations at low rpms. Even the spare tire being rolled up incorrectly can cause vibrations.

I did the trans mount but not the engine. Good video!

Nice video, I have the same job planned for next month and this video helped a lot.

[@JungleCatt]

Good luck! Would love to know how it goes. If you find any other helpful tips drop them here in the comments!

Great series. I have a 2004 with 234K and same issue. Ride quality is shot. Side note on parts. Looking at a toyota dealership website for parts. OEM Transmission Mount: 12371-50081 is showing not applicable for my VIN. Instead, Trans Mount - Toyota (12371-50180) 2003-2007 Toyota Land Cruiser - 1237150180 is showing as the appropriate part.

Sorry for the dumb question. Is it true that one must disconnect the transmission mount from the transmission mount cross member before jacking up the engine 1 inch and only then can you proceed to removing the old engine mount from each side. Is that correct?

[@ScienceHeckYeah]

Nevermind I answered my own question. The answer is yes.

[@JungleCatt]

Yeah I would disconnect the transmission mount just to make sure I’m not putting awkward pressure on the bell housing or the mount itself.

[@ScienceHeckYeah]

@@JungleCatt Thank you!

[@paultruesdale7768]

When you replaced this did you also get the little rectangular rubber pieces 12381-50100 ?

[@JungleCatt]

I reused my originals. There’s not a lot of rubber to them, more so a metal plate. So I don’t think they need to be replaced like the mounts do.
