Guys, I'll finish up by saying that I was under the impression that the engine/gearbox assembly was only mounted by the 2 front engine mounts.

This is the only set-up we have in this country.........a mount either side of the engine block and one at the rear extension housing of the gearbox......no intermediate mounts.

I can see why there is such a difference in the structural strength of this set-up compared to ours if not running a crossmember!

It's been educational.
