Default HELP ZF shifter problem


I think maybe it's time to replace the transmission mount in my 94 ZF Tranny. Under part and hard acceleration, the shifter handle bucks up like a bull.

How many mounting points are there? Has anyone changed this mount before? Can you lend some insight into the installation?

Muchos gracias,
Ruedas (Wheels in Spanish)
:cheers:

I'm in the process of installing a ZF in my 88. And unless I'm missing something with my parts, there are only 3 mounting points. The two motor mounts andd the torque arm which is a hard point.

If you find out otherwise please let me know.

Some minor movement is normal. Check your motor mounts or the C-beam tho.

:yesnod: :yesnod: Sounds like the C-Beam bolts have worked loose. Let's everything flex like crazy under hard acceleration.

Here's a pretty good picture of the bolts from Bill Beadreau's ZFDoc site:



You might want to drop Bill a note and let him suggest a troubleshooting path to take...
