[TR] [6pack] Crank pulley rubbing on crossmember

[Bob Danielson]

Mark,
The free play comes from the slotted motor mounts and then the drive shaft
has a splined slip. Plus over time the motor mounts "collapse/settle" so new
mounts help to "lift" the engine. When I reinstalled my engine & tranny last
winter, I installed new mounts and set everything back as far as I could.
Now I can easily slip my fan belt on and off the car.

Shannon,

I'm confused (this happens often).  The engine, tranny and drive shaft are
all fixed lengths?  If they are all connected to the diff, how can you move
it forward or backward?

Confused in Kailua (it may be too many Mai Tais)
