Transmission stability rods on 1991 S10 5 speed manual

35

Asked by belle5684 Jun 01, 2012 at 01:25 PM about the 1991 Chevrolet S-10 RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

There are at least 6 stability rods that attach to the transmission.  I was out of town and didn't get back to
it for about a week.  The transmission has been reinstalled.  I know where some of the stabilizing rods
attach (but not all)  My HAYNES repair manual doesn't even mention these rods.  There are no pictures or
illustrations.

it doesnt mention them cause there isnt that many it should just have a tailshaft mount and it should just bolt up to the engine unless 4x4 it might have a bar from t case to a trans housing bolt and a t case mount thats it

I went to the local CHEVROLET DEALER'S Parts Department and they printed out a copy of the layout of the stabilizers rods. 2 connect from the engine to the bell housing (I removed the bell housing to replace the throw out bearing). I only had to remove 1 bolt from each rod on the bell housing. That made it possible to remove the bell housing. 2 rods connect from that point to the low center point of the transmission. 2 rods connect from the center point of the bottom of the transmission to the Catalytic Converter bracket.
