Subject:Clanging Reverse Solved, thanks archives!

She'd been clanging bad in reverse, popping out of
gear, barely able to even get her into reverse...
Archives said possible motor mounts.  I slid
underneath and found the lower two bolts holding the
tranny to the motor to be loose...one is snapped and
stripped, the other just missing the nut.  I replaced
the one nut, so now I have 3 out of 4 cranked down
tight - reverse problem solved.  Hoping to get a few
thousand miles before dropping the tranny to replace
the 4th bolt.

Also replaced a leaky slave cyl - what a pain.  Much
easier to take the mount off completely.  Smooth
shifting now though...

Thanks list,

jeff
