Title: GEARBOX MOUNTS ??? Post by: Blown_FC on April 08, 2004, 11:53:30 PM I have a trimatic fitted to a red motor 202.
I have also just bought the CRS Chassis kit, and noticed the crossmember that supports the gearbox, has mounting holes at a different width apart than the holes on the neck of the trimatic.... I'm presuming there would be a rubber block type mount that fits between the neck of the trimatic and the chassis kit crossmember, but as my car has been stripped for so long, I forget what it used to look like. Can anyone post pics or explain how to mount the gearbox properly ? Cheers Mark Title: Re: GEARBOX MOUNTS ??? Post by: FC-V8 on April 09, 2004, 02:05:34 AM Mark
The two holes on the gearbox crossmember should be closer together than the holes on the box. Glenn Title: Re: GEARBOX MOUNTS ??? Post by: Blown_FC on April 09, 2004, 02:46:38 AM That's right Glen....but why.....and how do the two bolt together if the holes are not aligned...it seems as if there should be a mount between the two....that is my question ?

The rubber gearbox mount has 2 holes in the top of it to bolt to the gearbox extension housing and 2 studs which are closer together at the bottom to go through the gearbox crossmember and are secured with nuts and washers. Hope this helps ;) Regards ACE 8) Title: Re: GEARBOX MOUNTS ???

I would think that most spare parts shops would still stock the gearbox mounts. From memory the 3 and 4 speed Aussie gearboxes have the same mount, so if you have to buy a 2nd hand one anything from HK-VK Commodore with those gearboxes should fit. Some later model ones are reinforced with a extra bracket too. :o Regards ACE 8) Oh yeh VL V8 as well ;) |
