Title: Engine and transmission mount/bushing
Post by: mrmellowgold on October 21, 2013, 12:30:02 PM: Hey there! I was wondering how I would go about putting on new rubber mounts or bushings on my 1973 Pinto wagon. The engine rubber mounts are old and falling apart, and the transmission rubber mount is all old and coming right off with a poke of a stick.
How do I put them on? and where can I find the proper ones? Any website that sells them?

Check Rockauto, they have a lot of parts for good prices.

Lot's of prying, cursing, and jacks involved. In hindsight...sa ve yourself some trouble, and shave a 1/4 inch off the top and bottom studs on the engine mounts. Transmission mount...either wait for the right one, or prepare to drill holes, depending on build date. (early 2.0)
