You really shouldn't just let the tranny hang like that. There's really nothing supporting it there except for the stiffness of the front tranny mount, and this weight, leveraged like this can break that mount. As you may have picked up, the front AT mounts are impossible to find. There are lots of ways to support the rear of the tranny. My favorite is to place a board front to back across the engine opening and then loop a rope around both the board and the rear of the transmission. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
