  • Powertrain mounting apparatus for a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 6029765
    Abstract: A powertrain (12) including a transmission (16) and an engine (18) is supported on a motor vehicle structure (10) by a plurality of powertrain mounting brackets. At least one of the powertrain mounts (22) includes a plate member (40) having therein an elongated aperture 42 with first and second protuberances (70, 72) for providing releasable retention of the powertrain mounting bracket (20) and powertrain (12) relative to a structural member (22) of the motor vehicle structure (10). This powertrain mounting bracket (22) is useful for allowing the powertrain to shift forward a predetermined amount when subjected to a substantial inertial force.
