Manual transmission mounting pad choices ???
« on: March 26, 2020, 06:07:54 PM »
I need a new transmission mounting pad for my '68 with a manual transmission. The pad that bolts to the crossmember and then also the rear of the transmission. I just need a stock replacement, nothing more.

The last time I bought one of these (a long time ago) they were still available from GM but it looks like not anymore.

I know you can by these from any parts house and I'm sure they're made by many different manufacturers. Rock Auto offers four different brands alone.

Given the load that gets put on this piece, I want to make sure I get a good one. Does anyone have any recommendation as to who makes a good one and who sells it?......or does it really matter and anyone of them would do just fine?

Thanks....Dave

Stock... just use an Anchor 2378. I used an Energy Suspension 31108G on my 57 with a Muncie M20, but that's really overkill for a stock application.

And to be honest, there's probably only ONE manufacture (located in China of course) for these!
