Hey folks! Greetings from Virginia. Finally got my new (rebuilt) trans with OD and trying to install. Question/advice please:
Rear mount. I have removed the top piece of the old mount, ad move the bracket to the the rear two holes in the frame (need smaller fingers). Correct? It appears that the best method for installing is to bolt the top piece of the bracket and then tighten the nuts to the rubber supports? The trans did not come with the mounting bolts. I assume that these are studs that go through the bracket (as opposed to bolts that go up into the trans.? Not much space for a bolt)) Any idea of size (appears to be ~7/16-24) and torque?

Thanks,
Will
 
When in doubt on torque values, use loctite and get it "wrench tight". A crazy buddy of mine used to say
"tighten it till it breaks and then don't tighten the next one as much"

Thanks guys. Iā€™m having a time with this mount. I moved it to the rear holes (ā€˜74 TR6) but that allows almost zero space to tighten the bracket to the frame and it prevents tightening the rubber mounts from below. Iā€™ve tightened the rubber mounts at the bottom but that prevents the movement at the top for the bracket attached to the trans to slip on. Am I missing something here? (Hope my question makes senseā€¦.)

Another question please. Do the bushings on each side of the clutch shaft fit flush? Right side tapped in perfect. Left side (spring side) has about 1/8ā€ protruding. I can see the gap from inside and checked with a pick and could feel no obstruction. Guess I can try to knock it out and try again.

May have a question on wiring if I ever get thereā€¦..
