The mount that came with the car had been modified with a pivot pin between
the upper and lower sections with some free play fore and aft also. At
least it appears to have been modified, I don't this is the stock mount.
This allows the engine/transmission to rotate a bit and allows for any
slight fore and aft movement. The bottom portion that the pivot pin rides
in sits on a rubber pad that is riveted, I think, to the large piece that
bolts to the frame. Seems to work. I'll send some photos to you Tony.

Subject: [Fot] TR-4 rear tranny mount "tricks"
What kind of tricks do folks have to keep the rear tranny mount from
breaking? I've now killed a couple of them. Jack used to extend the
big tranny bolts through the plate that the mount bolts to. I seem
to remember angle iron on the sides to help keep the side forces off
of the mount too. What works and what doesn't?
Thanks in advance...
