Problems with motor mount fitment (3rd try!)
Hey everyone,
You all seem to be the smartest bunch on the web as far as yotas are concerned, so I figured I'd bring you this conundrum I have. I had a worn out transmission mount that you guys helped me with previously, and ordered a replacement DEA part online, model number A2410. Attempted to mount it, and the holes were off by about an 1/8 of an inch? Its as if the holes were drilled too low on the flanges, so it couldn't bolt on correctly. I figured they sent me the wrong one, returned it online through amazon, and went to the local oreillys. They ordered me what was supposed to be the correct mount, an Anchor brand one, which as you can see in the pictures has the same problem. Comparing the old one and both of these, the only difference I can see is the location of the holes, with the OEM being drilled closer to the edge, allowing it to sit flushly and fit all the bolts.
So i went back, returned it, and they said they accidentally got me one for an automatic transmission. We looked up the correct part number, and they offered to order it plus shipping, but i decided to consult you guys first. It is BeckArnely 104-0825, but here is the problem. On multiple auto parts websites, this mount comes up as both the manual and automatic variety, but same part number. Upon further research, so does the DEA brand part. This leads me to believe these companies quality control is ˟˟˟˟ and they are drilling holes in the wrong spot, or somehow I am missing something? Anyways... here are some pics. Can anyone please help me out?? Do i just listen to them and order the part and take the chance, or say ˟˟˟˟ it and go all solid mounts, including motor? Getting tired of lifting the trans and taking this thing out just to watch it not fit...

Manual and automatic use the same mount(same OEM part number). So that's not it.
Are you sure it's not backwards? Have you tried rotating it 180°? Like it is in the diagram below...

Sorry its a 1992 Toy Pickup, base model. 22re, 5spd manual. I tried both directions, neither works. Comparing the OEM part and the replacements I got, they look idenntical in slope of the flange, but the holes appear to be drilled a little closer to the edge on the OEM mount. If auto and manual trans use the same mount, should i just order the BeckArnely part? This has stumped me, my auto teacher, and everyone else i've consulted. even tried bending the tabs to fit, still wont work... When i rotate it 180 degrees, the fitment is still off, and the bolt holes on the bottom wont line up. Im stumped...

You could slot the holes. That's probably what I would do...'cuz I'm cheap like that.
Or take your chances on the B/A mount. Since it's about 1/3 the price of an OEM replacement. But you might end up wishing you went with the OEM part on the first try. When all's said and done...

Yeah slotting the holes might be my best option, I was thinking about it but I didn't know whether or not it could cause any problems. Sounds like it might be what ill have to do, and i feel like the B/A mount will give me the same exact problems. Does anyone know the part number for the OEM part?

The aftermarket part in the picture is obviously bigger, marginaly but still bigger. Just grind out the part that is in the way it shouldn't be an issue.
My guess is it used to fit but then they got a different order of the thru bolt and it's rubbing/contacting in the bottom of the V. You can compare the top sides to confirm this. or of course look for contact where I mentioned.

12371-34030
or
12371-35070
Not sure which.
Enter your VIN here and then search the Mounting section(under ALL SECTIONS or Tool/Engine/Fuel) for PNC 12371. See which one is right.
If you're still interested..

Grind away the part of the trans thats rubbing? I think that it appears bigger because the stock mount is compressed pretty bad, so maybe thats what you see? The slope of the V where it holds the transmission and bolts in apears to be the same, which further confuses me. The only difference i can see is the location of the holes. So grind away the t case where it rubs, or grind away the mount?
You have an extra 16th-8th of metal over the stock one judging by the sideby side photos. But without a side view it'd be hard to say if that is really extra length or just a wider opening.
Not sure if it is the angle making the newer center bolt head look taller.
IE I second what was already said about enlarging. Allthough we can't really see how badly it doesn't fit, if you need to grind off more than half of the width might consider another bracket source or checking the opening size some more first. Is it nice and flat against the transmission or does it look like the mouth of the V needs closed some.
P.S. You could probably make due with a half round file I don't expect it's hardened steel or anything fancy just beefy thick.

Eek! NO, the mounts enlarge the mounting hole in the bracket.
