[Shotimes] tranny mount?

[Donald Mallinson]

This happens every spring, and chances are it is the ROD 
shifter box squeeking on the slide mount.  You need to lube 
it with a spray under the Car.

This problem sounds something like squeeking a straw in a 
plastic lid in an empty cup.  Your problem MAY be something 
else, but I would try lubing this area first.  When you get 
all the way under the car, you will see what I mean.  Look 
for the black box that is the ROD shifter mechanism.  ON the 
sides you will see the slide mechanism that it rides on as 
the motor moves around.

Clean this with WD 40 or similar, then coat with a foamy or 
otherwise clinging thicker spray lube.

Since this is open to the elements, you will need to do this 
about once a year.
