There are no rear tranny mounts on the engine.

There are two engine mounts that attach to the rear rotor housing. Each is held on by 3 bolts to the housing and 1 nut to the subframe.

Try again in ENGLISH to describe what you hosed.

I think he means the cast Iron casting that has the threads for the bellhousing bolts....If so i can't think of any way to repair other than replacing the rear plate( rear cast iron plate) I guess you could weld it but the extreme heat it takes to weld cast iron would probably melt the O-rings and/or warp the housings all together rendering them useless. Is that what happened overrev?

My mechanic was given this problem by a customer . He welded the broken part, tab.ear, back on with a nicad rod . The engine was installed and was good to go . No problem to the water seals from the heat ,he did something to protect from heat damage . The engine was together when the repair was done .

Has the piece or ear broken off yet? Overrev... Try giving Garfinkle a call if Duboisr will hook you up with a #...Ask him about what he used to weld( I know she said Nicad rod) But ask anyways how he protected against heat. Thanks Duboisr for telling about the similar problem, I never heard this happen before. ..

Man overev, you must have had a HUGE impact gun to snapoff those ears!!!!

yep i broke three of the little basterds off before i decided to leave it alone and go inside. (Bad temper with stuff like that)

Pshhh... 1000 ft-lbs of torque on my bad boy....but how the **** did you get air tools even NEAR those things. I scratched up my forearm just getting a wrench into those tight spots.

had the motor and tranny out, and was bolting the tranny back and the damn pilot bearing was crooked, couldn't figure out why my tranny wouldnt go on so i broke out the impact, and bam snap them off! still put it back in though ill drive it like that until l can get it fixed.
