At the very least two layers of tire tue rubber under the trans pad with the bolts in and loctited or captured but not super tight however I ran torkflights which are in most cases long transmissions compared to a PG. I had one friend , engine customer, who said I was nuts and is constantly having to weld or replace his trans case because of severe cracking. Usually every season.

   This is how I have always done it . A soft pad under the trans mounting pad - never cinched down. I also make my mount as a bipod with small tube and a plate on top, this is never welded to the frame, just hose clamped to the frame. I have never broke anything or wiped a bushing.

wideopen231:
Seems most say don't need mount and can actually cause problem. Seems win win. Cut it off less weight at no cost and possibly avoid damage to trans.

I have thought about making one and thought about it causing problem,decided not to do.For once my over thinking keep me from trouble and extra cost.That rarely happens.

George:
No mount on ours and no problems. Full length glide.

hemidakota:
Well it appears the mount is getting cut off. Thanks for all the input. Was thinking mount might be causing problem but there I go thinking again. There is no room for error on this one as for trans sits right on mount bolts or no bolts. Thanks again for all the input. See everyone at the HRR. Good times soon to come!
