Toyota Tacoma 2.4L 2.7L Engine and Transmission Mount Kit 3-Piece

A three-mount set for the four-cylinder Toyota trucks: the 1995-1997 Tacoma and 1996-2000 4Runner with the 2.4L or 2.7L engine, automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. It includes the front left and front right engine mounts and the transmission mount under the tailhousing.

On a longitudinal truck drivetrain the transmission mount carries the back of the engine and transmission together. When it sags, the driveline angle changes, and you get a clunk on takeoff, a vibration that comes in with speed, and a shifter or case that knocks on the crossmember. Split engine mounts let the engine lift under torque and bang on engagement into drive or reverse. On trucks this age, all three are usually done.

This kit is listed for automatic, RWD trucks. Compare the new mounts against the old ones before installing.

On the job: support the engine from above or with a jack and a block of wood under the oil pan before any mount comes out. Change one mount at a time, leave the through-bolts snug but not torqued until every mount in the set is in, then let the drivetrain settle at rest and torque everything. Tightening a mount while the engine is jacked sideways preloads the rubber, and a preloaded mount tears early.
