[QUOTE="badreligion_13, post: 155465, member: 437"] When you say trans mount, you mean the adapter mount correct? I don't know the answer to your question;just going on what Jimmy told me. I would assume it was hardmounted via the adapter as normal... I have always used and been told that you mount the engine and trans the same. If engine solid, then trans solid. If poly bushing at engine same for trans/transfer case. But, you don't mix.. My only concern with hard mounting the trans in a J.Smith buggy, is if you hit hard on the belly or there is chassis twist, which might surprise you that there is, the trans housing is going to take the brunt which could mean a busted case..Does that make sense? I know Jimmy frequently has in the past mounted the trans/transfer solid to a crossmember that has bushings at the ends where it attaches to the outside rails of the chassis. This sort scares me to because of the mix and match of solid engine and poly bushing crossmember In your pictures your ATLAS appears hardmounted using the ATLAS adapter to one of the bars running in the belly..Correct?
