I recently discovered my transmission mount on my 72 Lebaron
was torn to shreds, the vibration in the driveline was a dead giveaway,
Having already used a polyurethane insert on one of my "lesser" Chrysler
products, I decided to give this a try on my Lebaron, since the mount on my Imp
looks exactly like the one in my Charger, I figured there was a good chance it
would fit, I was right, it fit like it was made for it, vibration is GONE! It's
an easy fix, and cheap at $14.95 here's the link: http://store.yahoo.com/chucker54/tranmoun1.html
It's part number ENE5-1101G listed for 71 and up
a,b,e bodies, but it fits the IMPERIALS !
You have to re-use the metal shell of your original mount and
press in the two halves of the new one, then slide the steel tube through both
halves, despite what the instructions say, the best way to remove the old rubber
is to set it on fire with a propane torch and toss it out in the driveway, it
will burn for almost an hour, when it goes out, a little wire brushing is all
that is needed to clean it up ( I used a small wire brush in my die grinder)
then both halves and the tube press in by hand-really a slick little item.
I hope this helps someone else who has this problem and if this
info has already been posted this to the IML, please ignore this
post.
Chris,
72 Lebaron, now minus the annoying
vibration
