Smitty,  I have all the 62 wagon trans bracket and mounts (I will replace them if need be). Are you saying I need something else? To avoid the possible toe out problem I have heard of elongating the hole/slot in the rear mount bracket. Greg

Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on it Greg. You didn?t mention that you will need Early front mounts.  I would strongly recommend that you use the stamped, shaped steel mount and rubber mount as a pair since they changed the location of the stud in the bottom of the rubber mount in 64.  Spacing a non harmonic plate to get fan belt clearance may give you unwanted toe out at the rear.  Yes the TV levers are the same internally.  Take a couple of good closeup pictures before you slide the little splined shaft out of the internal parts.  Put on a fresh O ring while you are there.
