Recently I have noticed a lot of trannies that are incorrectly installed concerning the rear mounts. One was soo bad that at a race the rubber in the mounts pulled out leaving the tranny to lie on the ground and breaking the throttle link on the carbs. The other two were on well raced SCCA race cars, but they were not as bad of an error as the dropped tranny one.
Attached is a pic of how it is supposed to go:

40 is the nut that goes on top of 35

35 is a plate that was missing on the dropped tranny racer. This plate keeps the bolt 38 from pulling through the mount 36

36 is held to the frame with 2 grade 8 13mm bolts and nuts, 41, 42, 43

Now comes the parts that always get screwed up.....

37 is mounted below the mount with the CUP PART FACING DOWN. I have been finding these facing up and this will not stop your tranny from sliding off of the bolt. The cup of 37 is meant to go over the ear from the tranny that grabs the bolt.

Then 39 is the washer for the bottom of the ear, which is last to go on.

I don't know how Babydoll's tranny is mounted, but if it's wrong it's all my fault.

Thanks Mike! I should have known you would know the correct way to mount a tranny with all the experience that you have!

Do you always use a rubber? I've switched over to a hard mount at the rear but not sure what to do up front.

When you mount the tranny don't good manners imply something about reaching around?

So is mine. It does make it harder to get the box in or out, but otherwise I don't think it matters. I will switch next time I have it apart.

OK now, i'm not obsessing that i have a part mis-mounted or missing on my car. nope, the Dr made me do it. so, i searched my parts stash and came up with this. sorry for the poor pix but there are 2 washer styles (i suppose) the washers look identical except one has a notch in it. i looked at my 74 and it has a washer with a notch so i installed washers with notch in the 73. the 73 (bahia red in avatar) had solid transmission mounts when i bought it. the question came up, of course, on how to orient the notch properly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) my wag is so that the notch will keep the mounting bolt in (so it's facing the side of the car, either one) and then when you want to drop the trans (and engine) you just loosen the mounting bolt and rotate the washer so the trans ear can slide off the bolt.
