S2 Transaxle Mount Alinment

[Fred]

Hi Guys,
I have another question that I probably should know were to find the answer. I have the 821-30 rebuilt the Transaxle is cleaned up and ready to go, and I rebuilt the Trans Mount, looks pretty good.
The question is when the mount was removed many years ago the proper hole, 4 holes that alien to the two holes on the trans to adjust the rear height were not recorded or lost over the years.
Does anybody have any suggestion on how to alien the rear trans height???
Thanks
Fred

Hi Fred, I mounted mine low figuring it will be easy to raise the trans in the mount if I need to.  Don't let it hold you up is my advise.

I have our answer.  The transmission needs to be as igh in the mount as it can be or it will interfere with the speedo cable.

The height of the gearbox does influence the rear axle geomtery and the ground clearance. On my stock S1 it looks like it is mounted as high to just clear the speedo drive. But that's not as high as possible. The green plastic part sits flush with the upper end of the gearbox mount.
