On my 1974 1.8 has these plates on the cross member mounts. Are they jack points? I do not see them in the parts diagrams. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Nope. Those look like the big washers that are supposed to be used on the transmission ears so the transmission bolts don't slide out of the mounts. Btw., there was a thread here last week explaining why *not* to use the engine bar to jack up your car. Or the transmission for that matter ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

Looks like whoever had the engine out previous owner got mixed up.
I did not jack up the car using them, but they will be coming off now ! Figured they looked a bit odd there ! Thanks ! |

I'm afraid to ask.
You know not to get under the rear of the car without additional bracing, correct? Not knowing how they mounted the tranny should be a safety concern now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Those were used on the tail shift cars in the same spot. Maybe some one at one time put the car back together from a basket case like I did.
