Question: i just found out that my cradle is not right with the hole where the fulcrum bolt is thru are "waller'd" out! ( hole is larger now so bolt has play) I see where you replaced yours over a weekend...Did you have to pull the engine to replace? Thanks for the heads up for carparts.com because shop told me that a new one runs $3191.43 and that is NOT installed. Another $1000 + to install it.

Wow... find a different shop.

A reputable shop would have scoured all the used parts suppliers to offer you a cheaper alternative. A great indy Jag shop wouldn't even ask and would just tell you that they got you a bargain price on a used part from one of the well known suppliers, a couple of which are even forum supporters.
