Fourward Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Got the engine in the car!!! 3 hours with a helper. Not too bad. I have a problem with the transmission mounts on the crossmember. I think I have the passenger mount installed backwards? It is an L shape. I have the leg of the L pointed outboard. Should this point inboard? How about the driver's side? I have it outboard and loosely connected to the crossmember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963r2 Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 From memory both should face inward or downward and hug the bellhousing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Brissette Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Take note of the parts list above...............527974. It is a spacer that has been left off of many transmission installations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourward Posted September 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 I have that spacer, one of the suppliers mentioned it and why it goes there. To clear some part or tilt the engine because of some part, I forget why. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Brissette Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Whoever you spoke with is correct. It needs to be there.In my 51 years of owning my Avanti, I've read many times about this spacer being left out and "things" not lining up and functioning correctly.

Fourward Posted September 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 AAAGhhh. I have the wrong ones on there anyway. I have the brackets, but there are no rubber cushions on them, just bolts. I noticed that while looking at the parts manual page above. Does anyone have a used pair that they would like to sell? I know I can get them from the vendors but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
