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"
