knobless Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) maybe shim the bottom crossmember down to get clearance, or at worse remove some rubber off the mount, but it needs to stay straight and level, ( the mount,,,,is yours a 34?

rageracing Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Yea it’s a 34. I took an 1/8” off the rubber and will get it remounted today hopefully. Gonna put alittle touch up paint on first where they hit. I’ll keep you posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rageracing Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 That’s after cutting the bottom mount to 1 1/4” overall height. It’s tight but I think it should work. I can’t get the top mounts on it’s too tight so need to loosen the mounts and get them on then retighten everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ply33 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 That bottom cross piece with the rubber part mounted on it are not, I think, officially mounts. The mounts are between the bell housing and the frame, one on each side. The bottom cross piece is for damping the "floating power" motion of the engine. If you install with the mounts first then you can bolt on that lower piece and the rubber should compress as needed to fit properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rageracing Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 I can try that, I’ll pull the bottom crossmember again and get the tops bolted in first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rageracing Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 So I pulled the lower mount, put the top mounts on, centered the studs coming up from the top rubber mounts into the bell housing steel bracket, tightened them down. The 7/16 bolts that go into the bell housing I had in but not tight, just before bottoming. I then installed the bottom and bolted that tight and tightened the top mount completely. After machining the lowest rubber mount to 1 1/4” thick it seems to have about 1/8” compression now. The top bolts are slotted in the bracket so I let them float alittle. Maybe I shouldn’t have but I’ll see if the shifter now fits and works without having to shim that up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
