Gearbox mounts

[nickm]

Wise ones.

Is the smaller of the 2 gearbox mounts supposed to be on the RHS? Mine is on the LHS and my new rubbers are already looking like the old ones, so i am hoping the brackets have been switched at some time { i did one side at a time, wasn't me}.
Thank you in advance

My gearbox mounts were the same size. They were also the same size as the engine mounts I believe.

The steel bracket on the xmember, are they removable?

Those little metal feet? They were both the same on mine also.... But now with some googling, I see they are meant to be different.
That does explain certain issues I had putting it back together.... haha.
Might be having a good look at what I actually have when I get home from work.

As it happens I removed two gearboxes yesterday

Gearbox 1 147328 147329 147330

Gearbox 2 147331 147333

From my bible 147332

If I'm processing all this information correctly gearbox 1 was mounted correctly.......

I did notice a 1/8" shim under passenger mount when I removed gearbox 2

Hope this helps you

Cheers Paul

Thanks clever people, will get some new rubber mounts and switch the brackets over....one day[bigwhistle]
Would explain why the gearstick base, where it comes through the floor, is hard against the LHS and I can't get the boot on and why the new rubber mount on the RHS is looking like the Tower of Pisa
