88 Rear Transmission mount - 4+3

[Stephen G.]

Trying to help a friend out. He's go a 88 with the 4+3 transmission and seems to be missing the rear transmission mount. Anyone have part #'s or pictures of what should be there?

There is no rear transmission mount like conventional front engine cars have. The tranny is held up by the C-Beam which is bolted to both the trans tailshaft and the differential housing. This provides a structural connection between the engine, transmission & the differential.

Here is a photo of a 1984 chassis where you can clearly see the C-Beam. All C4's have this chassis configuration.
