Parts in driveway part2 (found camera)
 

OK, finally found the camera as it was mis-packed
Big pictures: http://www.networkboy.net/dwparts/ (Can't hotlink, sorry)
In a nutshell I found these parts in my driveway while I was moving a couple months ago. Since I had the truck there was no rush to deal with it. Now, however, my truck has decided that reverse is not really a required gear, nor fourth or first when cold...
Soooo, I gotta fix this.

Here are a couple smaller images (metal bits are with the bolt):
Thanks for any help identifying these (I can't find them in the FSM, but don't know where to look really...)

What size is the bolt? The scale is hard to determine. J

Dave is usually good at these. I have no idea.....:confused:

Looks like some rubber bushings from the exhaust hanger bracket that attaches to the transmission.

I think so too....looks like the ones on the bracket by the transmission.

Exhaust hanger
 

yep, that is what it is. I just replaced mine with a new kit from Phill.

I agree, look at the right front corner of the tranny behind the down-pipe from the engine.

Yup!
Thanks guys!

Now to decide...
Scrap heap or used tranny for the truck... And speaking of transmission woes:

While looking under the car there are two worryingly large puddles of clear red fluid. I'm guessing about half a pint total. Car has been sitting unmoved for about three months. Thoughts?

One puddle from the front one from somewhere near the back. front puddle is bigger. If I scrap the truck *and* can find a 4 speed for the car, how hard (for a pro shop indy) would it be to dump the auto and put in the stick?

I agree
