Have you cut the bottom off your bell housing? That is generally the lowest part of the car. I broke my trans mount from hitting speed bumps with the lower portion of the bell housing. Since I cut off an inch or so it makes a BIG difference! |
Good idea, I had not considered it before. It is a McLeod Steel unit and cutting off some of the bottom flange should not be a problem. I think I'll loose one bolting hole if I do.
I'll check this later today when I get to my shop.
Thanks,
