Re: Motor mount replacement
Attached Thumbnails
Well, it was the back trans. plate causing my problem with the front motor mounts.
Not only were the bolt holes to far forward but, it also has a substantial back flange that restricted the necessary push back of the tranny. To access the trans. plate requires removing seats, carpet, & hump. But on the other hand, it gave me a reason to restore the base of the seats & hump.
I had an epiphany while working on the plate: instead of cutting or bending the big back flange , I flipped the plate over so the flange was facing down and thought I was pretty smart, however I still need to modify the (new ) small front flange by trimming it down a little, as the transmission rest on it slightly.( don't want it scraping a hole in the housing).
so in short I --am moving forward, all-be-it one babystep at a time.
BTW: I did get the front mounts sorted correctly & Feel very good about that.
thx again for all the input
