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!!!!
