I just realized the Strada transmission (Ritmo in Europe) has a different lower engine/transmission mount than the standard 128 4 speed. Has anyone put a Strada 5 speed transmission in their 128? If so how did you make the 128 mount fit the Strada transmission? The Strada transmission case is missing a third boss for a stud for the 128 mount. Guess I could make a steel plate that would fit between the 128 mount and Strada transmission case that would add the third mounting point to the Strada transmission but was hoping that there might be a better way. Here's four photos of an extra 128 case half with the mount and Strada case and the 128 mount. Oh well, I was hoping to put the engine and transmission back into the 1973 128SL tomorrow. Thanks in advance for any replies, Ken
