Rear transmission mount.

MY 1980 CJ 7 transmission is just sitting on a channel that is mounted to the skid plate. Is this normal??? Is is just suppose to sit on it and glide left to right?

no, there should probably be some type of rubber or urethane mount. my 87 yj has a rectangular mount with rubber and another rod that keeps the trans from torquing over on acceleration. i bet yours should have something similar

Yeah it does. I found the transmission bolts in the mid on top of the skid plate. Seems they worked them selves out. New mount, and let's see I'd I can get it back together. The bud light platinums are talking to me. Lol, well back at it. Let ya know how it turns out.

Thanks super J, I can always count on you for a reply. I didn't know what I was doing but now I think I got it figured out. Thanks,
