PHP trans. mount

[overkill91]

I recently installed the transmission adapter from PHP with my TKO on my 97 Cobra and it seems like there is a lot of stress on the poly mount. Is this normal?

Anyone have any pictures of theirs installed?

Thanks,

Chris

No pics, but I didn't find alot of crossmember stress, the rear of the tranny did bounce a bit more though. you can see it in the shifter while cruising.

I just put one on and thought the same thing but I also used a poly trans mount. I also had to trim some of the trans tunnel to get the tko to fit wright, make sure its not hitting on the bolts for the center shifter location. PHP also recomends welding the factory cross member into place. I could get a pick but not till this weekend PM me if you still want one.

i can also get one in a few days as i'll be installing my new tko500 tom or wed

Thanks for the replies! Basicly what i see going on is that the adapter piece is not paralel with the ground. It slopes down towards the transmission poly mount and the poly mount is what seems to be stressed. I typed wrong in the initial post. :bash:

Due to the extra linkage is there any problems with the back of the transmission shifting from right to left under load i wonder?

Any pictures would be great to see just out of curiosity...

Thanks,

Chris

Anyone with the TKO using the ds spacer? I have the vibe real badly with it, of course I am using my stock steel DS. Anyone know of an aluminum DS that will eliminate the spacer?

Doug, I thought you had a TKO tranny already?

Im not using a DS spacer. How can you tell if you need one? It seems like everyting is fine.
Ill try and remember to post a pic of mine when i get home so you guys can see what im talking about.

i had the old style 3550. and i broke it...bad. twisted the input shaft (for the 2nd time) and shattered third gear. i sold it to a friend so he could mix and much parts from his busted 3550 to build a working 3550 then bought a tko500 with a 26spline input shaft.

I'm also aligning my scattershield (safety bellhousing) since it was about 3x out of maximum alignment. its been one giant clusterfu**, but i'm working through it


and yes, i'm using the PHP adapter AND the d/s spacer. still got vibes but i got my stock driveshaft balanced while its been down so i'm going to see if that helps.

I've also read on the Corral that some people put about 1/2" spacers where the PHP adapter bolts to the transmission to lift the back end up a little bit and have solved much of their vibration problems. i'll be experimenting with this if i still have bad vibes.
