Transmission mount won't fit!
 
I am replacing the transmission mount that I found collapsed and the new mount won't fit. It's a 1984 GMC 2wd sb with 700r4. The part number I have it a 2392 from local parts store. It looks the same as the old mount and bolts to trans but the lower stud will not align with crossmember. Does anyone have a pic of the crossember and mount on there truck?

you try rotating the thing 180 to make it work? Some of them are straight inline with the 2 bolt holes others are offset. I had a hard time finding one for our 84 at Autozone but it has a th350 in it. I ended up getting another style, one from an 85 monte carlo.

check this out...

the one with the a in front is offset looking and the one ends in v is not. At least that's how they look may be the difference. You may have one and need the other.

Thanks, I was thinking of going and grabbing one to see if it will work. Now after that I just need to get a driveshaft cut. The one I got is about 3" too long. This truck is being a pain in my side.

the one I got is 3 inches too short, came out of the 84 which had a th350 c long tail or same length as a 700r4 trans would use and we need a 3 inch longer one, can't hardly find one or find a local shop to do them.

Sometimes to have to push the stud forward. I lifted my trans to do the filter and when I dropped it back down it did not line up. The stud is in rubber so it will flex.

Front mounts may be worn out also.

The mount listed in the book did not match my old one. I had to match it up visually with one in the book. I got lucky that visit, and got a counter guy who knew what a book was...
