Motor mounts for the ss auto?
#165
Hello Aron,
i have a problem with your Auto engine mount.
The forward bolt hole is too close to the bend to use the stock nut. The stock nut is a combo nut/washer and it would not fit.
When I first put the nut on and it started to go but after 2 threads it popped off because it hit the side. Took me an hour to fix the threads.
i didn’t want to drill out the mount til I heard from you. The aft hole is drilled in the middle of the mound. The forward hole is drilled to the side more so.
see my attached pic for details.

Fix is to sand the washer down a little, as it will not take much.

Mine was a tight fit also on my 5 speed. Just do as Aaron said and file down the washer a little bit. That's what I did.
Do Not try and redrill the hole in the mount. That would cause the mount to sit a little ****eyed from where it's supposed to.

It obviously is a faction of interference being the nut started a couple threads. we know it is close, as it must be, as it transfers the structural load thru this point.
file/sand the washer a bit, or get a smaller washer for $.25 and a new nut (it is metric) .
First make sure you are not connecting the mount to the engine, and not installing the other base nut tight. Get this nut on and tight first, before you install any other fasteners. Pull the TTR mount base to allow max clearance in that area also, as there is a little play in the hole to stud size.
