Im thinking maybe it could be Motor mounts? Lots of movement up front will effect the trans as well. That being said mine has been whining so its going in soon.

Stiffens the trans mount to further prevent the torsional and lateral deflection of the entire motor/trans relative to the shifter, which is rigidly "connected" to the body, thanks to the shifter bracket.

I see. Wonder what Ford was thinking when it came to this?

Vorshlag, do y'all have an ETA on when you expect the next shipment to arrive? Is Whiteline that far behind with demand that the back log is this deep?

As far as we can tell, yes, Whiteline's backlog IS that deep. We've been told they are on their way, but I suspect they are in a container ship, not airmail.



This bushing is an insert that keeps the stock transmission mount bushing from collapsing and allowing the transmission to twist over to one side under load. When twisted, the body mounted shifter is no longer in line with the transmission, causing missed shifts, or blocked shifts.

I talked with Terry on Facebook and he said that it took them 3 months to even get the first shipment....that's sad...

I can understand that container ships are the cheap effective route to keep cost low, but I honestly wouldn't mind paying a tad more to airmail it. LOL

They aren't really that heavy either.
