rear gearbox mount

[claire6069]

hi, has anyone got a picture of a rear gearbox mount for a mk3 astra gsi? the one we've just used has only got 2 holes in it to attach it back to the gearbox and it really doesnt look strong enough!

the bracket that fixes to the gearbox should bolt to the box using 3 bolts, then goes down to the rubber mount, the rubber mount bolts to the bracket via 2 bolts and then bolts to the subframe using 2 nuts

This is the one fitted to all big block cars with a 5 speed (as far as I know) and this

is the small block version. I fitted one of the small block ones to my car which has a big block engine in it and although it fitted, with a bit of filing, it isn't quite the right shape and puts a lot of strain on the rear rubber mount.

Hope this helps.
