V1 Ss trans mount

[WA08TC]

Am i missing something? I believe I mounted the trans in the correct hole. Forward trans mount isn't lining up.

Loosen the bolts holding the engine, jack the engine up (or lift with an engine hoist) an inch or so, and try to line up the bolts again.

I have to leave all the bolts to the subframe and engine loose and the jack up with a small piece if wood on that part of the front trans mount that goes in the bracket of your photo. That bolt also needs a little convincing to go in. It fits but barely

I think I got that bolt in first and then slowly walked in the thru bolts into the trans a couple turns on each at a time. It does take a different bolt installation and tightening sequence every time.

I will try that didn't know if something was off. Thanks for the replies.

yes it will take some "persuasion" my dad set up some ratchet straps using his truck as an anchor, subframe was a little twisted haha.

Yeah get your drill and drill bits ready, I had to elongate the hole in the subframe to make mine work.

First time I put the motor in I put that bolt in when installing the sub frame before the rest of the subframe bolts. The second time, I forgot about it and had to loosen the motor/trans mounting bolts and use a ratchet strap, jack and a hammer to make it work.

Took off the mount, loosened the engine bolts and used the jack. Thanks for the help fellas.
