Where abouts are you located? Auto or manual? You replace the rubber section only, not the whole thing.

Yup, that whole rubber bit is an insert. Go down see the guys at Meek Automotive & see if they can match you one up.

Once you do, let us all know which one fits!

Bennoz this Mackay insert has the exact same dimensions as the transmission mount which looks to be the same as the right mount.

Are the mounting holes meant to be slow low? My ones are more near the center! Sort of explains why my bottom mounts are saggy!!
Here is the meek mount which looks the same as the Mackay mount A5522
http://www.meek.com.au/index.php?act=vi ... ductId=524
Mckay (If I measured right!)
Specs are:
89.2 (Outside diameter of housing)
12.5 (Hole that bolt goes through)
82.0 (Length of Tube)
54.00 (Outside housing width)
Got the exact specs Bennoz?

Yeah but that was the whole mount, not just the rubber insert

The left and right inserts are the same. From looking at the pictures my left and right mounts inner tubes have moved more towards the center of the bush so my hole engine is sagging 1-2cm causing the rear mount to break! As 1-2 cm on the small rear mount would cause massive downward pressure on it.
I'm going to get one of those digital rulers to get a better reading on the dimensions and see if the mackay mount will fit. I am 90% sure the mackay mount will fit. I am pretty sure the mackay mount is the same as on the meek website.
I'm guessing if any FTO owner has not replaced their left/right mounts it will be sagging like mine.
