What is the "T" mount & where does it go. I bought everything, says anti-vibration T-mount. Is there one on an 84 300D?

Thnx,

It isn't on a '84 300D - I think it is just an early pre-1980ish 240 thang...

...if I remember rightly there's a bit on it in the FSM

The turbodiesels do not have the T-mount.

How do you get the engine shock out?
 

Big day today. Changed the oil cooler lines, put in a new oil filter housing gasket, replaced right side tranny line that I have had a sleeve on for the past two years (wore through at oil pan bracket) and changed oil the pan gasket.

I had the engine jacked up to get the old oil cooler lines out and the new ones in. I saw that the left side engine shock top mount was pretty shot, so I pulled it out and then tried to get the shock out. It is only connected a the bottom now. When I turn the bolt on the bottom, the threaded shaft spins. I tried locking down the shaft from the top with a vice grips, but it did not make any difference. Then I grabbed the shock body with a vice grips to hold it in place, but the threaded shaft still spins when I turn the bottom nut. I do not understand what is going on here and do not see what else I can do to get the bottom nut off. Can anyone fill me in on what is going on and what I can do to get the shock out?

if u keep the 2x4 or 4x4 on the vertical edge of the pan and across as much of the surface as possible u will spread the load out as much as possible over the strongest part of the pan...iv done it 2 time now...once last night lol ........if u search through u will find my threads from last week when i was asking all the same questions....great links and post on there.
i highly recommend filling the engine mounts , so they last longer
