  • Break-away transmission mount
    Patent number: 11118650
    Abstract: A mount to couple a transmission to a vehicle body includes a first body with at least one first body connector, and a second body with at least one coupler connected to the first body and which includes a damping material arranged to damp vibrations between the first body and second body. A retainer is carried by the first body and has a portion that overlaps part of the second body to prevent separation of the second body from the first body in a first state of the retainer. The retainer is broken or removed from the first body in a second state to permit separation of the second body from the first body, and the retainer breaks or is removed from the first body under a force less than the force needed to break or remove the at least one first body connector from the vehicle body.
