Rear mounts
I can't find an illustration of the transmission to frame mount for a 35 pickup
in the Chassis Parts book. Was there a cushion between the frame mount and transmission ??? |

Re: Rear mounts
It's a ring of rubber sandwiched between the transmission housing and u- joint housing with metal to frame, and it includes the hand brake lever mount

Re: Rear mounts
Thanks, coudn't remember if there was a rubber cushion between the mount
and the frame. Explains why I have no parts bag marked as such. |

Re: Rear mounts
The large diameter rubber ring is the vibration component of the rear support. The steel “ears” on the part were directly bolted to the frame of the car. Some guys have added small rubber cushions under the steel mounting ears but you’d be slightly changing the angle of the motor & trans assembly if you did.

Re: Rear mounts
I know this is an older thread, but is it possible to do this upgrade on a completed car? The rear mount on my 36 needs to be replaced. Thanks

I'm not sure if you are wanting to install the 37-40 rear mount bracket that I mentioned in my previous post or the transmission mount with rubber molding that deuce lover mentioned in his post, or maybe both?? In any case, you would need to either drop/remove the complete rear assembly, or remove the engine and transmission to do this work on a completed vehicle.

Re: Rear mounts
I’d like to do the 37-40 mount upgrade. Could it be done by supporting the transmission with a jack while removing the original 36 mounts and replace with the 37-40 style crossmemver and mount? I guess is my question..

The torque tube will need to be moved back about 6" or so and the transmission will need to be removed. Then, all of the rivets will need to be removed from the authentic frame brace. My question is "Why do you consider this an upgrade?" It seems to me to be a lot of additional work for no positive results.

Re: Rear mounts
Trying to eliminate some vibration from the car. Seems like some of the vibration is coming from the trans area and the rubber on stock rear mount is split and falling apart. I just thought if was easy enough without pulling the motor I’d change to the later style mount. Thanks for tour responses and insight!

Re: Rear mounts
When I did this on a 35 Tudor sedan, the body was off the frame, and the engine and transmission were removed. I'm thinking when doing this on a complete car, at least the transmission would need to be removed in order to get the existing trans mount brackets out and the 37-40 mount installed. Getting the rivets out, and removing the two transmission mounting brackets will be the biggest challenge. I believe the 37-40 bracket bolted in place using the original rivet holes.
Obviously, toe boards, sheet metal trans cover, front seat, and other misc items must also be removed.

To do that you'll only need to pull the torque tube back a bit.

The original mount worked quite well, certainly as it was intended to do. Oh, Mike Driskell has beautiful reproductions of these at a very fair price...

Re: Rear mounts
Thanks, I believe I’ve purchased a few things from him in the past via his auction site store.

My car is very smooth (no vibration) and no chatter. Still, the mount (rubber) is soft and well, "shot". I'd rather replace the mount before it fails and leaves me in a predicament.

Re: Rear mounts
If there are other vibration sources such as a worn main shaft rear bearing or a bad U-joint then replacing the worn rear engine/trans mount will not completely fix the situation. The drive shaft can also have vibration issues. Clutch & flywheel issues are also a possibility. I'm with Kube on this one. The mount was adequate for a car with no issues. Ford thought the final mount system through 1948 was so good that they didn't need steady rods but when they fail, there is a bigger problem than just a failed mount. They probably should have kept the steady rods. Change it if you want but the improvement is not that much of an improvement.
