  Installation
of this component is quick and straightforward. The hardest part of the
installation was lifting the Zook to get under the vehicle to install the
new mount since the zook only had a 2” lift more room was needed to work
under it. The stock 1.3L motor is still in the vehicle so this installation
was done with everything still in the vehicle. After placing the Zook on
jack stands the tranny needed to be supported so I used a floor jack and a
block of wood to maintain the tranny in the original position to remove the
old mount. After donning goggles (need to protect the peepers) I began by
removing the four bolts that attach the rear of the transmission and the one
bolt for stock exhaust hanger. Next were the two bolts holding the stock
mount to the cross member. Take care when removing these bolts and the
hanger bolt because they will be used again. |

  Now
for installation of the new mount…I started with the four bolts supplied
with the mount along with the stock exhaust hanger and then preceded to the
lower two-bolt location. In order to align the lower two bolt holes I had
to apply pressure to the tranny. Lastly tighten the main bushing bolt.
Perfect fit! Be careful not to over –tighten the bolts and strip the bolt
holes in the tranny itself since it is an aluminum housing. |

There is a little more vibration that is transmitted through the driveline but not as much as you would think which Brent stated up front before the purchase was made. I really couldn’t tell a difference in fact having this mount in there makes the Zook feel even more solid when shifting.
