[T3] Transmission Clunk



As earlier mentioned my auto transmission clunks up and downshifting from
1st to 2nd and vise versa. I have as advised by Russ checked for looseness
of the mounting nuts.
I have tightened the two lower nuts holding the tranny to the motor. Can't
seem to find the exact torque these should be, I also checked the forward
mounts and found them tight.
My problem is where are the other mounting nuts to the motor and how do you
get to them?

While I was under there I found that the modulator vacuum hose was a little
loose. I pulled it off and a small amount of oil came out. It seemed like
engine oil not x-mission oil. I drained this and did not observe any
x-mission oil leaking from the modulator valve itself. I have replaced the
vacuum line and tightened the clamp.

It does seem to be doing less clunking but still seems to shift too hard
into 2nd.
Any info is appreciated

Thank you
