UCF LOPRO ('03-'06 TJ & LJ) Transmission Mount

Almost 1" more clearance for '03-'06 TJ and LJ.

This '03-'06 TJ and LJ transmission mount sits almost 1" shorter than the factory piece. It's how a TJ gets a 3" suspension lift without drop-down spacers on the stock transfer case skid, or a tummy-tuck skid without a body lift.

How it works

• Direct replacement for the factory transmission mount
• Almost 1" shorter than the factory piece, lowering the transfer case down into the skid plate by the same amount
• That 1" of extra clearance goes far toward reducing metal-on-metal vibration and avoiding body lifts
• Uses 2 rubber bushings to isolate the transmission from the skid plate: a 3/16" sheet of soft rubber separates the 2 halves of the mount and provides tension, so under load in forward gears the powertrain transfers energy to a secondary round bushing on the outer edge of the mount. That round bushing is what really holds the mount together and provides all the vibration isolation in reverse.

Expect some increased powertrain vibration at idle that goes away when the engine is at speed.

What's included: Upper and lower body pieces, round bushing with center sleeve, flat sheet bushing, 1/2"-13 cross bolt and nut, and four 3/4" lower bolts with flat washers for mounting to the transfer case skid. The spacer is not included.

Needs: With an automatic, it works with the factory transfer case skid, but we don't recommend it with our transfer case skids, so please call us before ordering. The '97–'02 TJ uses a separate mount.

Install notes

• The factory bracket that connects the transmission mount to the transmission needs some modification: you will shorten a flange with a sawzall or angle grinder.

Finish: ships assembled but unpainted. Paint the bare steel before you install it.
