Hi Everyone, I need your help (again!). I need to buy a gearbox crossmember mount for my post '94 R154. After doing the conversion I found that I have the wrong one, which is making driving horrible. The one I need is the mount that comes down to a flat bottomed V shape and has 6 bolt holes, 3 on either side. The one I have currently is the correct shape but only has 2 bolt holes along the bottom, and one at the top (Where there is no bolt hole in the gearbox so I can't use that hole). So I am currently only using 2 bolts, which allows the gearbox to pivot on them.
I have now moved to Perth, so I no longer have access to a lot of the tools I once had access to, so now I can't simply drill new holes in the existing mount, I will need to purchase a new one (And would prefer to anyway)
Any help is appreciated, such as, is this mount the same as an Australian produced car such as the Hilux or something, and if so, do you know the Australian Part number?
Thanks you!
Troy

Troy, Your problem is that you have a JZA box that only had those holes in it. Your only options are Drill & Tap new holes ( Easiest ) Change Extension Housings ( Could be done insitu, but is a little tricky )
ONLY a JZA Trans mount will bolt to the holes you have, BUT, it has the wrong xmember mounting
