Cosmo,
I had a similar problem on my TR3A. It's a metal trans cover and only 1
rubber boot, but it wouldn't stay seated for whatever reason. My solution
was a 1/4" metal screw to keep it in place. The carpet covers it up. Don't
remember exactly where and how I put it in, but I can pull the carpet and
take a look if it will help.
