1987 Drivetrain feels like it is loading and unloading going down the road
I have a drivetrain issue and believe it is the transmission mount.
The truck is an 1987 SR5 22RE, with the 5 speed tranny and 165K miles. 6 months ago, I had a Grizzly locker installed and have had no problems. 2 weeks ago I put on an LCE TB, since my TB was sticking really bad, you could feel a lot of play in the butterfly shaft. Checked the fluids in the transmission and rear diff. The TPS is adjusted correctly and the dash pod has been checked. Also the u-joints check out OK.
When I am driving down the road and let off the gas or apply gas there is a lurching in the drivetrain, almost like the rear diff is loading and unloading. This happens at almost any speed, more noticeable at lower speeds.
The transmission mount, has some play in it and looks to be original. My friends shop has order a mount for me and so far they can't seem to get the right one. One was a lot smaller and the other was a lot bigger, any idea of where I can get a correct mount for this?
Or am I missing something else that can cause this?
THANKS
