Ok i got the right tranny mount, s4 T2. So how do i bolt it the tranny, where do the mounts go? Im lost. It fits just don't bolt it. Its just sitting there.

 

 

 

new vs old, old in front(s5t2) and the s5t2 Y-section in off to the side. I need an s4 Ysection i believe.

 

u prolly got it in backwards.....like always

 

you need the y thingee

If anyones got one let me know.

 

I can't believe this ****. SO i got the right Y section. Now i have all the right parts, and i figured out why they changed the tranny mount design in the s5, the s4 are horribly designed! So i go to bolt the Y section to the tranny, got it started, then I goto attach the crossmember, won't fit since you have to have the mounts bolted to the crossmember before bolted them to the Y section. OK easy right, nope you can;t bolt the mounts to the Y section after you have bolted the Y section to the tranny, can't get a wrecnch in there to tighten the bolts. OK so i got it,put the bastard together then bolt it to the tranny, well the ******* bolts that goto the tranny are inbetween the Y section and the crossmember, so the only way is to use an open end. The ******* bolts are corroded as hell and takes me a half hour to get them almost tightened, then it starts to get hard as ****. Then they snap. OK so i gotta ******* spot tig weld this bastard Y section to the Tranny, hope i don't have to ever replace any of this **** again, since it will be a lot harder. :rant: So now i have blow about $150 getting the right ******* parts, more than i spent on the tranny, endless hours of ******* around on the net and under the car trying to figure this out. My god. :rant:

 

damn, sorry to hear that.



sounds like i'm not the only one that has problems like these

 

You need to invest in a bench grinder/wire wheel combo, clean all your threads

and apply some anti-seize or even grease to them before assembly, a metric tap

and die set would be a good idea as well so you can clean the threads of the bolts

and where they are being mounted. These would have paid for themselves already

in your case. Live and learn
