OK, I was on a kick to change all of my mounts with new ones and upgrade some of the mounts on my 1996 Celebration Edition XJS 4.0L Convertible. I even ordered a transmission mount that looks like an orange-ish colored foam mushroom that looks like this....
HOWEVER, When the car was on the lift, I don't see an old one like that, nor do we see where it would mount. Am I missing something or did they update the design and did not update the catalogs. Mine is one of the last 1996 models made. Mine looks like the pics below and I don't have that center bolt and the hole looks way too small to put in that orange foam bushing.

l can't see your pics but are you sure you ordered the part for your 4 litre and not the V12 part. Those rear mounts are totally different.
They certainly do wear over time and, in extremis, can cause the engine to lift at the front and the fan to knock the top of the fan shroud, a sure giveaway that the gearbox mount has gone.
