When I pulled the engine out of my Datsun 810 wagon, I left the transmission mount attached[1] to the transmission, and the rubber bushing/isolator thingy got torn apart when the end of the transmission scraped across the radiator support.
I'd like to reuse the transmission mount, or at least the center section of it that supports the transmission. I wanted to purchase a new bushing/isolator, but don't know where to find one. I tried my local chain store, and I looked online at a source I've used for datsun fuel pumps, but they didn't have it. (I'll be more specific about useless vendors if I can....I'm just trying to avoid dropping names so I'm not accused of hawking canoes.)
1 - It's the first time I've pulled an engine, I did it alone, and I made some mistakes. yes, I now realize that I should have taken the transmission mount off of the transmission before trying to remove the motor/tranny combo from the car.
If I cannot find one, I'll need to find a better solution. Is there a way to strip the rubber off the old one and replace it with hockey puck material? I know some of you have used them for motor mounts.....
