Transmission mounts

[gonebuggy]

Rob,

If you plan on removing the front mount, none of those items will be a suitable substitute unfortunately.

None of those items are meant to support that kind of load, only to add support to the front mount.

Something you could try is using this kit you suggested: http://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.as...de=C26-311-204
Then weld it to the frame horns, some modifying would be necessary. Or figure out a way to bolt it to the frame horns and use the included rubber bumpers so that it isn't "solid mounted"

I'm using a berg style mid mount like Alex linked to, no front mount, german rubber rear mounts with a heavy duty rear cross-member with tranny strap. For added torsional support I have a 3-bar kafer brace from Lanner. Its not on the road yet but there are a few people out there running a similar setup.

Other things you need to do are grind down the webbing on the trans nose cone and get a plug to fit the back-up light sender because it will hit the torsion tube. Thus no back-up lights unless you hook up a switch somewhere else like on the shifter.

What I really need is something like this: (Rich, I hope you don't mind me using a pics from your site. http://www.ricola.co.uk)


It's close to the one Alex and Mike pointed out, but it seems to have better mounting fot the framehorns..

Rob,

The pic you posted is right on the money. I'm not 100% but I'm fairly certain that you could use that instead of a front mount. Using any other tranny "supports" wouldn't be a bad idea either. Wheel hop will kill your tranny in quick order, so there is no such thing as too much support!

Keep us posted,

Alex
