Transmission mount

Click image to enlarge
Hello

Does anyone know if there should be a mount here between the tranny and the cross member ?
Looks like there should be, but I cant find it on the drawings.

Does anyone know the PN for it, or do you have the same space on yours ?

Thanks

Kev

Many have asked before Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Does that mean that we should now expect someone to ask "What are the best tyres?" closely followed by "What is the speed limit for a Defender?", the next most popular questions?

It has been a frequent question, but we’ve all been new at some point. It was a nice polite question and hope he goes on to learn, stay here, and then he can answer the newby question next time.

Thanks Andy

Its OK you old timers can have your fun Rolling with laughter
I did do a search first but not all threads are intuitively named.
After the ridicule I searched again and found several threads answering my question.

I do all work on my Defender myself so you guys can be expecting more dumb questions.
I appreciate the help

Maybe should ask to why Landrover decided to weld in the bracket on the gearbox cross member. I cannot recall of seeing an answer to that. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Hey Kev, don't take it the wrong way. We're not making fun of you - more the ridiculousness of the thing that clearly looks like it should have some sort of connection but never has. Darren

I'm good Smile

I guess the bracket is a left over from some previous models.
I've noticed a few things that were not changed since the beginning of time.

It's not a leftover in this case. The most plausible explanation I've heard is that it was originally designed as a mount but was found to either be not needed or in some way detrimental during development and the chassis was never updated. That's not an official answer, though. Darren
