Hi all, i was changing transmission fluid and filter and had to remove the mount, i went through all the guides and videos, so was quite prepared, but forgot to slowly remove the spring, to see how it was set, instead everything just fall off and i dont know what goes where
so im referring to this
what are those 2 spacers?
Also, i had only 1 spring seat, is that right? i have seen somewhere that it should be 2 , but mb it was about earlier car?
The two spacers (26) go between the Y piece and the piece bolted into the tuunnel behind it. They enable the rear of the Y piece to be bolted up tight to the tunnel piece which has captive nuts on it for the purpose.
??? the two thicker washers pieces that are number 15 in the diagram, or possibly number 17
??? the thinner washer is actually the special washer 28 in the diagram that goes on the spigot, BUT the diagram is notorious for being incorrect. The tubular spacer 27 goes BELOW not above the special washer. Incidentally you need a new special washer as it needs to be smooth and rounded on it edge.
21 goes above the tongue piece and 27 fits into the relief in it.
You also need a new spong damper (3).
The attached pics show most of it.

Thank you a lot, now it all makes perfect sense!
Spong damper is already ordered as well as rubber seal
Why do i need new special washer, can i just polish mine?
I use two spring seats, they only cost cents. That weird little round edged washer #28 ends up right in the middle of #3 bushing. Your hardware is so rusty I really wonder how long #3 has been missing!
If you have a local powdercoating guy, it’s real nice to have all that metal blasted and coated. I had the transmission mount, driveshaft guard, transmission flywheel dust cover, and engine oil pan all blasted and coated for $60. A few months later I had all the same stuff done on an XJ12, plus a second dust cover, a smaller dust cover, the buffer plate (#9 in your picture) plus a shield for the driveshaft done for $120. I was surprised how cheap it all was so I use him all the time. If it’s under the car, and ever off the car, I have it done.
