Bill, I have pointed arrows showing that the washers go between the mounting bracket that you need to hack up and the top of the mount(the side with 2 studs) The washers go around the 2 studs and the mounts should bolt onto the bracket. It is fairly simple once u understand what needs to be ground down on the bracket. I really wish I remember to show you in person. Maybe next time. Thnx for all of the advice at ripken u helped me alot

I dunno man, I didn't have to grind the sides of the mount at all to make them fit.

Jesse,
Does this mean you're willing to take some digital pics of your motor mounts? (Please!) -Bill

Maybe I said it wrong. I ground down the sides of the mounting bracket not the mount

Jesse, I had used washers to shim up my old failing mounts before I bought a used set from Tom. Nothing wrong with that approach. Later I slid (pinched?) in a couple shock biscuits (from a Merc, go figure) alongside the center stud in the trans mount. It helped quite a bit with the driveline slop and actually also removed quite a bit of the jitteriness I've been associating with weak front struts. Also noted was the change in vibration at high speed. I've been chasing little vibrations in the car since I bought it, tires, wheels, etc. The p.o. had a new driveshaft installed just before I bought it so I had little reason to suspect it. Now I'm thinking that with the ridiculous angle of the engine/trans (to allow for the front diff and exhaust) a sagging trans mount only adds to the trans output inclination. It sucks that I'll have to pull the exhaust and shields to inspect and measure angles but I think I'm on the right track.
Considering how much torque deflection there is in the trans mount what do you think about adapting a Moog type dogbone replacement strut (like the Citation, etc. used) in place of the OE dogbone, once the driveline angle issue is resolved? It should certainly firm up the reaction both on and off power.
