(E) For C27 dimension is 451.1 mm (93) Isolator mount
(17.76 inch), and C32 is 472.7 mm (94) Isolator mount
(18.61 inch) (95) Front engine mount
4. After the cradle has been mounted to the engine
and the transmission, the transmission to flywheel
housing bolts will need to be checked again for
the proper torque.
5. The engine and transmission system is now
ready to be mounted into the vehicle. Refer to the
Transmission and Mounting Dimensions under
the “Appendix” section for the information on
dimensions and mounting hole patterns.
6. The recommended placement for isolator mounts
(93) and (94) are shown in Illustration 24.
Isolator mount (94) should be placed 451.1 mm
(17.76 inch) from the rear of flywheel housing (96)
when mounting the transmission to a Caterpillar
C27 engine. The dimension is 472.7 mm
(18.61 inch) for Caterpillar C32 engines. Refer
to “Bending Moments” through “Determination
of Flywheel Housing Bending Moment” for
information on other engines.
7. After the engine and transmission have been
mounted into the OEM vehicle system, the
flywheel housing bolts need checked again for
proper torque setting.

NOTICE
In the design of an engine and transmission mounting
method, careful consideration must be given to the
alignment of the engine crankshaft centerline with the
centerline (backbone shaft) of the transmission. As
the OEM designs their own method of mounting the
engine and transmission, Caterpillar recommends
carefully following the alignment procedures that are
described in Alignment and Vibration Procedures that
is under the “Appendix” section.
Mounting the Engine and Transmission
Original Equipment Manufactures (OEMs) must
consider the following variables when mounting the
engine and the transmission: static loads, torque,
dynamic “g” loads, resonant frequencies, frame
stiffness, and the mounts fatigue limits. Caterpillar
recommends that OEMs perform a power train
component system mounting analysis. Most of the
major suppliers of engine and transmission mounts
have computer programs that can run a power train
mounting system analysis. The analysis will identify
a compatible mounting arrangement with stiffness
and frequencies that do not over or under load each
power train system mount.
