**HELP** Lower dogbone mount and trans mount
Wednesday, March 16, 2005 9:36 PM
I need some help here. I'm in the process of switching out the engine and transmission in my 98 Z24 cav. I can't get the engine and trans to align right so i can attach the lower dogbone mount. What am I doing wrong that would cause this. The all data instructions say i need a special tool to adjust the tranny mount but what would that be used for? PLEASE someone help me, I need this car done by thursday afternoon. Thanks for any help!

Chris

No special tool needed. Did you take all 3 mounts off at the same time? If so thats the problem. Your suppose to do 1 at a time. The Lower mount is a VERY simple one to do. The front tranny mount is also simple to remove. The rear tranny mount will be a little harder to pull out but it will come out and you can swap it out..

What do you mean you cant align them togeather?

I have both the tranny mount and the upper engine mount attached, but i Can't for the life of me get the lower dogbone attached. Should I undo the upper engine mount and try maneuvering the engine and trans to hook up the lower mount or what? What order to I hook them up in?
