I basically know very little about the 5-speed in my 75. What I do know is one of the ears
that are used to mount the tranny to chasis has broken.

I have what I belive to be a replacement cover. Is this just a R&R
deal or is there some hidden issues to swaping this piece that will
suprise me when I start?

Thanks guys. Tried a couple of searches but I am probably just calling this
piece by the wrong name.

I changed the first /reverse gear in my trans, the easy part was the tail cover. I sudjest you replace the gasket.

New gasket, new O-ring for the speedo drive shaft. I forget if there's anything else you do to seal up the speedo drive or not. Support the trans securely when you unbolt the old tail cover.

That looks exactly like what happened to mine.
It also took out the front motor cross bar so the
whole frickin motor on the drivers side is on the gound.

I am really begining to hate this car.
