For the rear mount, I've added some side bracing to take the side to
side force off of the mount.? With the stock mount you can do this with
angle iron that goes on the side of the mount and bolts to the trans
mount bolt.? What I did is to drill holes through the chassis mount
plate, weld little pipes to them and have the trans mount bolt extend
through the chassis plate.? The bolt / pipe takes the side force and the
mount itself just has to handle the twisting motion.? I have a nut at
the very bottom, but it's not tight against the chassis plate (it's a
locking nut so it doesn't fall off).
