Was afraid the trans case might be warped since the motor mount was so bad but got everything cleaned up, painted & new bearing everything is like new, i didn't have a collar spacer for the motor mount at the house so tomorrow i gotta go dig through all the stuff i got packed to rob one off another trans, and paint it along with the spacers |
