Most clips are finished with a protective coating to prevent corrosion from exposure to road salt, oil, and moisture. Installation and Maintenance
"Hung" configurations are often used in modified vehicles to lift the transmission higher, providing better ground clearance for lowered cars or off-road rigs. Common Materials
Installing transmission clips usually requires precision, as even a slight misalignment can lead to "driveline bind" or premature wear on the universal joints and transmission seals.
They bear a significant portion of the transmission's weight, distributing the load across the frame.
