Subject: [TR] OD gear box question<br>
<br>
<div dir="ltr">Owners, I acquired a Factory OD gear box for my '71 and discovered <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">that the transmission mounts on my chassis do not correspond to the <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">mount on the box... So, were the cars ordered with OD modified at the <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">chassis mount location?<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"> With the OD, removing the driveshaft becomes a bit more <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">problematic...due to moving the mount rearward nearly 6 inches. DaveP<br>
