@ Jim: thanks for confirming the engine movement.

Hey Scott.

My previously posted link may not have worked, but here's a link to my
images showing how I modified the transmission mount:

I installed a WBX transmission so chose to modify the mount to keep
the engine in the same position as it was with the air cooled
transmission. This mod worked fine until I removed-reinstalled the
engine carrier.

I'll check for noise at the shift lever in cab.

Neil.
