Tranny Problem

so i heard a scraping noise under my car while drivin so i jacked it up when i got home and found that my driveshaft was hitting the heat sheild. i then looked at the tranny crossmember and found that the drivers side has no bushings at all. where can i find these bushings online? can i just bolt the tranny in without them?

I don't believe that Mazdatrix or any other aftermarket guys supply these. I would post up in the classified section. The only other choice is going to be the dealer.

You do not want to install without them. While your at it inspect the trans mount. They are famous for the rubber seperating from the metal portion of the mount.
Also consider replacing the rear extension housing seal.

Is it the small flat donut looking thing? I might have one. Do you also need the nut and large flat washer? We could work something out.

I drove the white RX-7. I talked to you on the phone about the rubber donut thing. How did that turn out on your car anyway? Did the dealer get you the right part?
