ABSTRACT:
A power train mounting system includes a front mount, a rear mount, an engine mount, and a transmission mount. Installation heights and spring constants of each mount are predetermined such that the majority of the weight of the power train is supported by the front and rear mounts. Mounting axes of the engine mount, front mount, and rear mount are vertical while the mounting axis of the transmission mount is lateral. The transmission mount may include bridges which vary its spring constant during vehicle roll.
