question about transmission torq bracket and mounting
I just replaced my engine mounts and transmission mounts and I
had to really torque down the "torque bracket" on the transmission. I now have a hard time shifting into first gear and the transmission seams "tighter" Do I need to loosen the bracket, if so how much. also, anything else I should check? I refilled the transmission (sr-4) gear oil in November and it drove much better until the mount was replaced. thanks, Brad. ps, 258:sr-4:d300 |
Re: question about transmission torq bracket and mounting
Explain 'torque down' on just what??
There is an outrigger mount or torque bracket. The mount for this is a bolt that has two rubber grommets on it that have points with the points together. This leaves almost an inch of free up and down play on the outrigger bar before it touches rubber and stops the engine from twisting.

Re: question about transmission torq bracket and mounting
I think that might be my problem, I need to check to see if those
rubber grommets have the points together or apart. I did not realize that bar had free play for the transmission to twist slightly I'll check, thanks. Brad.
