Re: 1962 Dart TF trans mount question



I had the old floating style motor mounts originally - had to swap those out for the newer ones when I installed my TTI headers.

I took the crossmember and trans mount off today.  I seem to be missing a bolt that goes up from the underside through the rubber and might compress the large spring that sits between the rubber on the trans mount and the rubber on the crossmember. The issue I'm trying to fix is that it seems like the transmission isn't sitting high enough on the mount but I don't see how you would adjust it.

62 was a cross over year, they had several different mount systems, which motor mounts are on your car, the old floating style or the common one found on the 63-65 models

Yes, it's the 3 speed automatic push button ... but what's weird is it looks like the C body mount they show ... am wondering now if I have a C body cross member?

Is it a TorqueFlite AT? Schumacher sells a polyurethane replacement trans mount for that. See:
