Rotating flywheel against TC for balance

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I just looked up there and saw that it looked wrong- I replaced the front engine mounts a couple years ago but didn't do the rear/transmission mount, so as a matter of course I looked at it...but I didn't seriously think it would do anything. I've replaced mounts before in situations where they looked bad and thought it would help the situation, only to have nothing change. Fortunately this one was different! I will say I kind of hesitated getting under there and doing this because I had such an awful time with the '61 Ambo but those mounts are totally different and this only took about an hour to replace (as opposed to days with the '61).

	Yep! On my rambler super the flywheel has only one way it bolts onto the volcano butt crankshaft. But I'm sure the Bellhouse mount would be tricky to replace with the engine and Trans mated. Good thing I don't have to do that.
