Actually, I do not think the rear rubber pad and casting is a good idea. the way the transmission and housings mount to the engine indicate it was designed to hang off the engine, not be a support for the engine. There is no support at the bottom of the housings to the engine, like the B engine which has the pan go all the way to the housings, and bolt to them. The A has support at the top, in the two lugs that attach to the engine where the accelerator assembly attaches. I do not use the transmission mounted pad and casting for that reason.
