RE: Duetto bucking in reverse

[Blair Nelson/Elaine Babby <nelsonbabby@domain.elided>]

With all the analysis and suggestions for solving this reverse gear bucking 
problem it appears there are quite a few folks with pre '69 cars that could 
use the PROPER PART for their transmission mount.  I've looked in all the 
catalogs for the older part and they don't seem to be available.  I've 
tried all the "fixes" for the newer mount in the mechanical clutch car: new 
clutch disk, lots of rubber hose packed in the open spaces, various rubber 
bumpers attached to the trans support, and none of them fixed the problem 
to my satisfaction.

Does anyone know if there is a new mechanical clutch style part available 
anywhere?

And if not, would it be possible to get a batch remanufactured for 
something less than a small fortune?  It seems there might be a reasonable 
demand for them once completed.  Does anyone have suggestions for where 
someone might begin such a quest?  Obtaining an example of an old part 
still in good condition would be necessary, of course...but then it would 
be tempting to just install it and be done wouldn't it.

It sure is embarrassing having to back out of a parking spot after fielding 
the questions about your "cool car" that's in such "great shape" and then 
exposing it as just a beater after all.
