2001 transmission mount modification to older style
I have a 2001 xj and bought a new Mopar transmission mount for 99 and back. I know they are different with one centered and one offset. I have read a little that you can drill new holes in the 2001 crossmember to make the older centered mount fit but i am not 100% sure that is all you have to do. I am just asking if it will work and do i have to do anything else to adapt my older style mount to the newer crossmember? Also will my transmission be in line after the modification? Thanks Mike.

I have wondered about this for sometime.
The price of a '00/'01 Mopar mount, assuming you can find one, is so much more then a '99 and down Mopar one.
Have all sorts of questions but no answers.
I don't believe the AW4 in an '00/'01 is different where the mount attaches.
So if that is the case is it the crossmember?
Cause I was thinking you just use a '99 and down crossmember with the mount.
But then what I can't past is why the change?
The only thing I can think of might be cause of the exhaust but......
Be looking forward to the responses on this one.
