Trans shifter question

ebone84 · Oct 20, 2020

My shifter or transmission leans towards the passenger side is this normal do I need engine mounts trans mounts or both 91 convertible GT ..... TKO-600.... if I need mounts I’m thinking about energy suspension ... ?

Does it lean or it offset to one side like it is crooked?
Is the engine level?

What crossmember do you have?

I’m going to really look at the engine today and climb up under the air just to check everything out .... i’ll report back might even have some pictures .... thanks

I’ll have the car up on jackstands and I can really take a good look this weekend .....

The engine does not look tilted, so its must trans mount related.

Wayne Waldrep · Oct 22, 2020

Maybe my eyes are fooling me but the engine looks rotated counterclockwise. This would explain the transmission tail being rotated that way. If the engine is straight and the transmission is bolted to it, it can't be bent that far off.

Yeah I agree with Wayne,looking at the intake seems it's crooked.

Ford double hump crossmember.... Energy suspension bushings on it it’s welded even .... by the summer I’ll have there trans and engine mounts.... couldn’t get a picture of the engine mounts .... it does lean/angle towards the passenger side .... but it seems like you would have to correct it at the engine mounts ????

Wayne Waldrep · Oct 26, 2020

Yep... Crooked engine equals crooked engine mounts. Something isn't bolted in the right spot. Shouldn't be difficult to find.

ebone84 · Oct 26, 2020

Both sides of my crossmember look the same ...... I guess that’s what this hobby is all about figuring out all the little problems....

I put on the new engine mounts sits much better one of the engine mount bolts seems to fit loose... so I’m waiting on some ARP bolts....hopefully I won’t have to Heli-Coil it...... I got there trans mount I’ll put that inn in a day or two....

Cool man. Looks like a collapsed mount in that last pic. Let us know how the transmission sits thru the floor hole like before.

nickyb · Nov 20, 2020

Well? Did the mount fix the crookedness?

ebone84 · Nov 22, 2020

They did help a lot transmission sits much straighter .... yes

ebone84 · Nov 22, 2020

I should’ve took some better pictures before I start buttoning it up ......

That mount was toast. Was it an original mount, or a parts store replacement at some point?

ebone84 · Nov 25, 2020

always something now that the engine is raised and straightened a little....... strut tower brace is hitting my supercharger tube and I got to take the brace off to get my dizzy cap back on..... just had my strut tower brace Adjusted by the welder to fit the engine a year ago.....

good thing I got all winter ....

Wayne Waldrep · Nov 25, 2020

Lol.... Sounds like my luck. I love my MM strut tower brace but it's constantly in the way. That's why it's off right now! I putt around now anyway and I have their full length subs so I may not put it back on.

Same here. I have a old Kenny Brown brace and it really ties the front of the car together and almost eliminates cowl shake altogether, but man it’s a pain to work around.
