Puma's 818 Build

[e-rue]

Once I had the frame modified and everything tacked in place, it was time to figure out how to fabricate a trans mount bracket, fabricate a bracket on the frame, and also figure out what trans mount I wanted to use. Everything Subaru had for trans mounts seemed completely insane, so i used a generic energy suspension piece for a GM application. Once I had everything tacked in place, I mocked up the transmission and thats when I started feeling a little uncomfortable. The trans pan seemed like it hung low in the frame and there wasnt much to keep it from getting punctured if i ran over something so I welded a cage around the pan where it dropped down and added a piece of plate steel to bolt the transmount to.
