Transmission Mount '47 Sedan

[WBrown]

Any tips/tricks for replacing the transmission mount? Not having much luck with the search function. Thanks in advance. This is an original stock car.

What EXACTLY are you trying to accomplish? Are you attempting to replace the "Bearing Retainer/Transmission Mount" (as shown below...thank you Mac VanPelt) which bolts to the rear of the transmission case, or are you trying to replace the rubber insulators that fit under the feet on this mount? We can help if you'll be more specific! DD

With apologies, the rubber insulator. PN 21A-6068

With thanks to Mac VanPelt for the image and drawing, here is the big picture of how it goes together. Does this help any? DD

I have just done this on my 48 Mercury. I had to undo the wishbone and pack it down with a block of wood to gain access to the nuts holding the 6068 to the chassis. The heads are coach style so should not turn. Jack up the engine and transmission to clear the mount. You also have to remove the nuts holding the rear bearing retainer (7085) to the rubber insulator.
A real fiddly job, especially for us that don't have a hoist.

Speaking as one without a hoist, I expect I'll be doing some fiddling.
Thank you DD and Dave H, appreciate your time and information.

Shouldn't there be a cotter pin in the nuts on the transmission mount bolts?

Isn't that what that little "sticky-outie" is at 3:00 o'clock on the "34424-S" nut? DD

Yes indeedy. I do believe that "stickie outie" is a cotter pin. Good observation.

I have always wondered why the transmission bolt nuts on my 40 are acorn style with a cotter pin. Perhaps the guy I bought the car from in 1963 made the change.
Seems odd.
