Rear Engine Mount – Toyota LandCruiser HJ60 HJ61 HJ75 2H / 12H-T (OEM Ref 12371-68041)
Stop engine clunks, excessive vibration, and driveline shudder on your Toyota LandCruiser HJ60, HJ61, or HJ75 (1980-1990 models with 4.0L 2H or 12H-T diesel) with this high-quality rear engine mount. Direct replacement for the factory part (OEM ref 12371-68041) – perfect for work wagons, troop carriers, or restored classics that feel like they're shaking apart after years of heavy towing, off-road abuse, or high mileage in Aussie conditions.
Key Features
- Exact reproduction rear engine mount – matches OEM dimensions and mounting points (ref 12371-68041)
- Direct bolt-on fit for 1980-1990 HJ60 / HJ61 / HJ75 models with 2H naturally aspirated or 12H-T turbo diesel engines
- Heavy-duty rubber compound bonded to steel brackets – resists heat, oil, ozone, and cracking for long service life
- Reinforced steel frame – handles torque loads from towing trailers or hard acceleration without collapsing
- Compatible with factory or aftermarket transmission crossmembers and engine brackets
- Meets or exceeds OEM specs for hardness, damping, and durability
Benefits
- Eliminates clunks, vibrations, and harshness – smoother ride on highways, gravel, or when shifting gears
- Reduces stress on driveline components – protects gearbox, tailshaft, and mounts from excessive movement
- Improves engine alignment – better power transfer and reduced wear on U-joints and diff
- Restores factory feel and quietness – especially noticeable after replacing all mounts
- Essential for roadworthy checks – collapsed or cracked mounts can fail inspection in NSW
- Great for resto projects, work rigs, or weekend classics – keeps your 60/75 Series solid and reliable

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the symptoms of a worn or broken rear engine gearbox mount?
The most common sign is an aggressive drivetrain shudder or vibration felt throughout the cabin floorboards when accelerating or pulling under heavy load. You may also hear a distinct clunking sound when taking off or changing gears, which happens because the rubber insulator has separated from its metal bracket, allowing the transmission casing to lift and hit the crossmember under rotational torque.
Which specific LandCruiser models and engine series does this mount fit?
This high-compliance rear mount (equivalent to OEM part number 12371-68041) is engineered strictly for heavy-duty 4x4 Toyota models utilizing the 4.0-litre 6-cylinder diesel engine platform. It is a direct bolt-on fit for both the naturally aspirated 2H and factory turbo-diesel 12H-T power plants found in classic HJ60 Wagon, HJ61 High-Roof, and HJ75 Troop Carrier / Cab-Chassis models.
Where exactly is this rear engine insulator bracket located on the vehicle?
While designated as a "rear engine mount," this component physically supports the rear assembly of the drivetrain. It bolts securely between the base of the manual or automatic transmission extension housing and the main steel chassis crossmember framework, working together with the two front engine mounts to create a stable, balanced three-point support structure.
Why do these rear transmission rubber mounts fail on touring rigs?
The rear mount endures massive structural strain. On remote outback tracks, it bears the brunt of continuous rotational torque output from the gearbox while coping with aggressive chassis twisting. Over decades of service, exposure to oil leaks, dirt, moisture, and road heat breaks down the raw rubber compound, causing it to split, sag, or pull away completely from its outer metal casing shells.
What critical safety step must be taken during the DIY replacement process?
Proper execution is vital to avoid stripping threads or trapping fingers. Before unbolting any factory hardware, you must support the weight of the transmission housing using a hydraulic trolley jack and a block of wood positioned safely under the casing. Gently lift the assembly just enough to relieve tension on the old mount, swap out the hardware components, and torque all metric bolts securely to factory specs before lowering the jack load.
