So I know there have been a lot of threads about the tranny mount and the PRG poly mounts. I've been through them all looking for a solution to my 2nd torn mount. I found a solution other than the PRG vibrator. Nissan uses a completely different design when it comes to the 2005 frontier mount. The frontiers mount is a much better design and is much beefier. I dont know if Nissan was trying to reduce vibrations with the titan mount or what. Anyway I replaced mine with the Frontier mount last night and boy what a difference!! It feels like a new truck. No clunking tighter braking. And most importantly no drive train slop. Just thought I would pass on the good news.

Part Number: EM-9520

Yes, very interested to know how it does for the long haul

Subscribed in case I need to do this in the future.

Subscribed. I'd really like to know if there was an Engineering reason or just a matter of supplier chain/logistics as to why the Frontier could possibly have ended up with a stronger transmission mount vs. the T. While I like the Frontiers 4.0 VQ, the VK56DE makes alot more power and thus more shock is delivered to the drive-train vs the VQ's power delivery. Outstanding find.

Been meaning to crawl under the truck after work to check my mount. Fairly certain it's bad. If so I will be ordering one of these.

installed the frontier transmission mount, i did get it off of amazon, its the eagle brand and some of the threads were flattened but the file fixed that. no more clunk going from park to rev to drive .:big_grin:
the cross member was a pain, but to be expected on a 177,000 mile truck.
Initial thoughts, It is a lot beefier than the stock mount and being rectangular instead of round like the oe titan mount the new mount should last longer but we"ll see after about 10 to 20K how it holds up.

rock auto 2005 4.0 L v6 frontier (DEA A7366 & WESTAR EM9520) look like the correct ones (didn't include the anchor because it didn't have a picture) but after shipping might come out more than the one from amazon (came with free shipping), if you go rock use the 5% discount code.
looks like there is a difference between the titan 4wd and 2wd trans mount
some one else probably knows more and can chime in.

The one on the left is for the 4WD, the one on the right is for the 2WD. The Frontier appear to use the same tall setup for the 2WD and short for the 4WD. I'm sure the transfer case is the reasoning for this. The 2WD's don't seam to have the issue with the tranny mounts going bad as soon like the 4WD's do.

I have a 2wd but what are the signs or symptoms of a bad or going bad tranny mount? I mean my truck clunks a little when I go from park to Rev or drive thought that was normal in any truck ?

Kinda wondering the same thing other than jacking the tranny up and seeing if there are tears. I'm currently chasing a squeak when I start that is speed dependent (longer squeak if I accelerate slowly, shorter if it's fast). Cannot for the life of me find it and am wondering if this is it.

Glad to see a few of you benefited from my post. So far so good with the mount. Just crawled under last night to do a visual to confirm. Solid as ever. I do have a bit of play/clunking in the drive train. It is different than before. I think it is my slip yoke sticking a little. I'm thinking that after fixing the mount the slip yoke is now taking all the play and really having to work. Anybody else having similar symptoms?

just about to replace my front u-joints, after the transmission mount it was good for about a week then i got a clunk back and a vibration from around 40mph to 50 mph or around 1000rpm to 1300rpm. I think taking the play out sealed the fate on the original u-joints.

Just replaced the front universal joints today and no more vibration or clunk. the ones I took of looked like the originals and if that was the case, they had 177000 miles on them
