Baddog Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 So I think I installed my Rallitek 4EAT Transmission Mount Insert properly today. But I don't think I did. This is the mount I installed today http://www.rallitek.com/RalliTEK-4EAT-Transmission-Mount-Insert/p-4634 This is what my stock transmission mounts look like (2 of them) http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/details/QQSubaruQQLegacyQQOES_GenuineQQMotor_and_Transmission_MountQQ19901996QQW0133-1627925.html?apwcid=P1135867996W43b3f85c7ab9e&apwid8Y1hDqO If you look at the pictures on Ralliteks page the mounts are way different. They look like this one http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/details/QQSubaruQQLegacyQQWestarQQMotor_and_Transmission_MountQQ19971999QQWSEM9074.html?apwcid=P1135867996W43b3f85c7ab9e&apwidXmcEe75 This is how I put it together. http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/Baddog909/Photo0030.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/Baddog909/Photo0029.jpg Only their website it says it works with the 96 legacy. But the way I installed it doesn't seem right. It was a pain in the ass to install too (getting bolt holes lined up). Anyone know the deal here?

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted March 22, 2011 I Donated Share Posted March 22, 2011 Aftermarket poly bushings are not always the same style as oem...and often a VERY tight fit. Ive never installed your bushing before, so maybe someone who has can chime in. I want to say its fine but im not 100% sure Sent from my Android powered HTC HD2 -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

DN1911 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 you have to have the newer style one piece mount which also has a slightly different style crossmember from what i have seen. i had adapted a mount off an 05 car on to mine with some work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddog Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 I should mention there was NO bushing piece in there. Yeah I figured I'd need a new crossmemeber too. I will keep an eye out at the junkyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baddog Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Okay so I spent 5 hours today running around getting parts to convert to the one piece transmission mount/crossmember. Got the crossmemeber and the one piece transmission mount. Put my insert in and went to work under the car. Once I got under there I removed the 2 piece mount and Crossmember and went to drop the new Crossmember in w/ the transmission mount on it. Put in the Crossmember bolts and it looked really short. I let the transmission drop all the way to see if it would rest on the new mount but it wouldnt. There was about 2-3 inch gap. So I took it out and started looking. I am pretty sure the mount I got is correct. But I am not 100% about the Crossmember. It's an automatic crossmember (or so I think?). So I installed the stock setup back in and when I went to do that I went to put the bolts back into the mount holes that connect to the transmission and I am pretty sure I cross threaded the threads in the transmission. So I need some ideas on what to do with that. And what is the deal with the crossmember I got. Stock on the top New on the bottom http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/Baddog909/Photo0061.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/Baddog909/Photo0060.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddog Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 No one really gets down to the nitty gritty on their cars here I see. Anyways I couldn't find a part number on either of the Cross Members. But I was looking at the FSM. And the pictures for the outback Cross Member don't have such a big hump. The legacy's do. So I guess I got a Cross Member from an Outback. I didn't know there would be a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
