...Volvo part 8631358
Does anyone have one lying around?
It's the bracket that enables the attachment of the transmission (just above and aft of the driveshaft) to the subframe of a P80 C70 convertible via a rubber transmission/motor mount:



And while I'm asking, if anyone has the accompanying mount itself (in decent condition), I'd also be interested = )
These are hard to find in the junk yards, and the one I tried to pull today was broken in two = /
Thank you very much!

 

That part is used in every Coupe, Sedan, and Wagon 70series with a 5 cyl gas engine from 1997-2000. And of course the 01-02 c70. Should be plenty to be found.

I use Voluparts.com for used parts near me. 404-352-3402

 

Thanks for the reply, and for that useful link!

I had understood that most FWD P80s had four points of attachment to the subframe:
1) and 2): two "hydraulic" lower engine mounts front and rear
3) lower right engine mount
4) lower torque mount (attached to the transmission)

I understood that any P80 that does not have the rear lower engine mount has to have that left side bracket, mating with a left-side transmission mount to help hold the engine.

The reason I'm asking is that I am making a modification to my 1999 V70, swapping the original subframe for one I got from a C70 convertible (it has chassis stiffening bars). I should be able to retain my original lower rear engine mount, as it's mounted to the steering rack, but I'm figuring it can't hurt to have that extra transmission mounting to the subframe, especially as I'll also be swapping the automatic transmission to an M56.

Hopefully I can find the bracket and mounts for much less than the >$200 the dealerships are asking! ; )

Thanks again!!
