Transmission in sideways..........

ok i just installed my t5 and.... its sits further to the drivers side than it does in another persons car... both mavericks... both early models 69.5 and 70... same crossmember... crossmember fits his... but with mine the transmission sits too far to the drivers side by about an inch... anybody know why?

both are wc t5s

 

Worn motor mounts or tranny mounts?

Im guessing if the driver side motor mount is bad it could tilt the entire engine to one side, causing the tranny to tilt too...is it tilted or actually moved?

 

Both are brand new... Maybe just low quality? Got them from autozone

 

...just a shot-in-the-dark but are the frame stands on the correct side?

 

Both your frame mounts have the offset facing to the rear?

 

Frank beat me to it.

 

Yes frame stands are on correct

 

If the engine is straight in the mounts then you do not have the transmission seated on the bell or the bell is not seated on the emgine.
If they are all seated correctly then either the engine is not sitting correctly or the cross member is not in correctly.

 

here's a pic. of Earls, maybe someone can help from there...

 

Everything is fully seated and properly installed... Only thing I can think is defect motor mounts

 

Thanks everyone.... And merry Christmas

 

Im trying to figure out how its sitting...

does the motor sit exactly like this? The valve cover is completely vertical...if its not vertical then one of the motor mounts are bad or mounted incorrectly ...if it is vertical then something is wrong with how the transmission is mounted

 

I think it's sitting more like this.

 

I actually looked at it for a moment

 

It is angled left to right between the frame rails so that the very end of the transmission is offset to the drivers side by about an inch or an inch and a half
