Herr Maher wonders whether his engine mount may contribute to the short and vibration-filled lives of his clutches. I suspect not, as I have installed my engine at two very different heights, neither with any apparent vibration problem. The engine and trans bolt together, and can be angled differently by about 3 in. height as measured at the muffler without a problem. Steve's setup includes an adapter plate, and I could certainly picture that a mismachined adapter plate would put the engine off line. Steve, is there a way compare the position of the engine's crank pulley center to the centerline of the tranny? B. Wm Kennedy kennedy@admin.njit.edu
