Just got done taking the engine out of my 1975 duster, and my dad and I noticed that the transmission isn't really mounted to anything but the engine. Is this correct, or is it supposed to be bolted to something that isn't there?

There should be a cross member, between the torsion bar anchors. A rubber mount on top of the cross member, to the bottom of the transmission tail shaft housing.

This is a late A-body so the mount is as Charlie says, but it has a rubber cylinder behind the crossmount with a
single bolt through it (called a spool mount similar to the way your motor mounts work),
Thanks, DI. I'm so used to the earlier setups, I forgot about the change to the spool mount.

Here are a couple of pictures I took of mine ('74 Dart). The red arrows show where the bolts should go (mine were missing).
