    After a few hours of three guys, an engine lift, a few wrenches, a lot of gear oil, a sledge hammer and a 5 foot cheeter bar, the engine, tranny, transfercase combination fit back into place, (the sledge hammer was purely to intimidate the assembly in case it did not cooperate). The engine fired back up, and the new transmission shifts into every gear. My only problem is this, apparently, this T-90 and my old T-90 attached to the crossmember differently. My old tranny attached to two bolts spaced roughly 5-6 inches apart, and the new one attaches to either two bolts 3+/- inches apart, or four bolts each about 3+/- inches apart in a square formation. Does anyone know what part I need to order to go between the crossmember and the tranny? I'm really itching to take her off blocks and make her mobile again. :) :? :) :?

    There is a transmission/tranfer case mount that you will need. It has two bolts that bolt to the transfer case/transmission (I can't remember) and then an isolation rubber sandwiched between two pieces of metal, then two bolts that go into your crossmember. Do you have that piece already?

    No, unfortunately, the only one I have goes to my old tranny.

    I was the one overseeing with the big hammer,The original tranny mount has 4 bolts leaving the rubber buffer in an "H" pattern evenly spaced approx 6" inches apart.2 to the trans 2 to the crossmember.The trans has the holes centered at about 3" apart.
    Pictures I tell you take some pictures!!!!!

    jpflat2a what's that noise?

    should be a metal mount plate that bolts to the trans case
    the mount then bolts to this plate and the crossmember I believe
    pics in a minute or 2.....

    jpflat2a what's that noise?

    should have had something similar to the early mount shown
    maybe what you had wasn't original ?

    It looks like I am missing part number 18.195 in your diagram. Here is trhe pictures I took in this order, Old Tranny with holes pointed out, crossmember and connecting bracket, and finally new tranny with new hole locations poointed out and one stray arrow pointing to where the crossmember bolts to the transfer case.

    OK, I am going to leave the pictures up to prove to myself, that I'm an idiot. In the first picture of my old tranny, the missing part is clearly still attached. I'm so stupid sometimes.

    Careful there Godevil, you were just as guilty as I was. I got the clutch cable and clutch fork installed tonight and even managed to solve a pesky power drainage issue I was having. Tomorrow the crossmember gets assembled and she comes down off the jack stands for a test drive. Wish me luck, apparently, I need it. R) R) R)

    And a few of these... :beer: :beer: :beer:
