[V8] Transmission Mounts

[dsaad@icehouse.net]

Have you had your car at the tire shop recently?

If they used a platform lift on your car, they more than likely bashed in the
cross member and or floor pan. The rattle is the exhaust on the cross member.

Of course you could have bad tranny mounts too - but look at the crossmember and
pipe alignment. You can bend the crossmember if needed, and the exhaust pipes
can be adjusted a small amount.
