I need to replace my transmission mount on my 2005 GMC Sierra SLE 1500 4x4. Could I get some tips or basically the how to for this? I was also wondering if I need to even jack up the truck or if I can use a floor jack and just lift the transmission enough to remove the old mount and add the new. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

if you can fit under the truck you don't need to jack it up, you will be able to just jack up the transmission like you suspect. there's really not much to it, just take out the bolts, support transmission with floor jack, swap mounts and reverse to install

Thanks Nick,

 

You ever here of a cracked or warn transmission mount making a pop or clunk sound when starting from a stop or coming to a stop? It also makes the sound over bumps when I am going below 20 mph. When I am traveling over 20 mph I never here the sound. I can make the sound when I hold the brake and hit the gas but I have to drive around the block and stop again to get it to repeat. The other day I was under my truck and pushed up on the transmission and heard the exact sound in that mount. It just seems to me when I am driving that the sound is further in front not basically direclty under me. but when I am outside the truck it seems to come from that area. I am just wondering if It could be the transmission mount and maybe a motor mount as well. Sorry I am just thinking out loud. I am going to replace the transmisssion mount this weekend and will see if that gets it done. Thanks for the reply.

it's very possible that the sound is coming from the transmission mount. I've seen a completely blown trans mount on a Firebird cause the catalytic converters to slap the underside of the body on the car, keep in mind that the whole motor and transmission assembly is held to the frame by three mounting points, two motor mounts and one transmission mount. The motor mounts limit the side to side movement of the assembly. With a bad transmission mount the motor and transmission and rock forward causing various components to make contact with things you wouldn't think they normally could. The transmission or exhaust could be making contact with the underside of the truck body.

Are the tranny mounts hydraulic on newer trucks? Or perhaps just a monday or a friday mount? Once the oil leaks from a hydraulic mount its done.

I know it's a rubber mount on the trucks through at least the end of the GMT800, I don't know of any changes for the GMT900 (haven't looked personally)

Got my transmission mount replaced and it fixed my problem. I could not see where the old one was damaged or why it was making the noise though. Took me about 2 hours becuase 1 of the bolts is a turd to get to but for the most part very easy. Thanks for the help.

I know it's been awhile since this thread, but I am having a similar problem that just seemed to have gotten a little worse. Enough to where I need to do something about it before I tear something up. I feel a loud vibration almost like pure bass coming from the truck when I stop in gear. It goes away when I accelerate and put in park. I am wondering if this is transmission mount related or more of a motor mount issue. Any advice or comments would be appreciated. I'm going to at least take a look this weekend and be sure everything is tight. Thanks in advance for any tips/advice! Shane

10 years later, I’ve got a bit of the same situation. My 03 serria makes this club king noise when I start to drive, or when I come to a stop, my transmission seems to shift twice in first to second gear, I’m hoping it’s the transmission mount. How many mounts do you need?

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
