In that case, the transmission mount is slotted, so that it will
accommodate some fore/aft adjustment of the engine/transmission

Theo

yes, they're the right way around.
the old mounts had oval holes which were more forgiving and I suppose
there is a little tension in the drivetrain as I had similar issues
changing the rear springs and had to jack the axle backwards.
