727 TF Rear Mount on E-Body issue - 04/26/09 02:08 AM
Hi!
I recently replaced the rear rubber mount on my 727 TF and it appears it has slipped back out of the bracket. It's supposed to press into the bracket but the aftermarket mount is way to loose. Do they make urethane mounts and a new bracket? The bracket is sheet metal formed in a u-shape and holds the rubber mount. The current doesn't hold the tranny in the right spot to have the right drive shaft angle to the pinion. It appears to be cocked to the right when looking from the tranny toward the rear end. From the side of the car it looks like the drive shaft is lower than the rear pinion right out of the tail shaft of the tranny! I've had a serious vibration for some time and I think this stinken rear mount is the issue. I've put new u-joint in the drive shaft and had it balanced so I'm quite confident it's not that. Any help is appreciated.
