It's the thing at the left side of the tranny.You can see it looking down the right rear of the engine. On 11/12/05, OK Don [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks!

Re: [MBZ] OK Don's phat new ride
I replaced the engine mounts today (thanks Rusty) - it's a MUCH nicer ride with the engine off the frame! The left side was completely collapsed. The tranny mount is scheduled for tomorrow since it's the same age. While I'm there, I'd like to adjust the shifts a bit. They're soft, almost to the point of flaring, but not quite. I assume this is done at the vacuum modulator? You turn something one way or the other to adjust this? What do you turn, and which way for harder?
