Car is a '62 Dart 4Dr Sedan, plain jane original car, with /6 and 3 speed manual trannie. (3 on the tree and non synchro 1st gear). The lookups of the rear trannie mounts for sael nowadays are not at all like this one. So I wanted to see if anyone here could recognize this mount and if I could cross it to something else.

Are the books showing a round mount? 62B had a round mount but the later ones went to the rectangular 63-65 style so try that, 63-65.
 
The 'online' books show a round mount but for AT's in '62. I think I finally found this on Year One and Engine-swaps.com . Those list it as an AT mount for '62-65' B body AT mount but maybe it is really a '63-'65. This is looking like the same mount as for the AT was used on this MT car. It's about 99.9% certain to be original.

The motor mounts for this car get listed right and are the same as the '63-65 A body for the /6, but the trannie mount is not the same.

I think manuals have two studs and autos have one stud. wow I have never seen that round mount before. must be a rare bird. I had a hard time finding a two stud one when I was putting my car together.
 
Yeah, cars of this era seems to have a lot of variations in things like this, as well as parts being mixed into adjacent years. I was looking at the K-member and the motor mounts looked to be manually welded on in production. If a mount part ran low, I can easily imagine Purchasing saying "Hey we can get 25,000 of THIS fast and cheap' and then a call goes out a couple of hours later from Engineering to Production: "Change the weld up of the trannie mount to that new dohicky we discussed last Friday'. And here we are, trying to piece it all together 50 years later!

Do you recall where you got it?
 
For those few who have early 3-speed manuals the Schumacher TMEB mount works for this trannie. I wrote to them and they confirmed it works with the 3 spd MT as well as the auto's for the '62-'65 years. Quote: "The TMBC does work with the 3 speed manual in your '62 B-body. We for some reason have omitted that fact from the web site...sorry. Feel free to order the tranny mount knowing it will fit. Thanks for the photos, they help a lot."

Their web site is www.engine-swaps.com Classic has the same part.
 
http://engine-swaps.com/Pages/ProductsYear/62.65bBody.html will show the mounts about halfway down. I was just on the site and clicked 62-65 B body and got an error code so I entered the page manually. I have a 65 318 auto, with a conversion to a 70 727 trans. You can see in the pictures that the stock auto vs the manual are different.

Thanks. Your bottom pix (part# TMA) for the manual trans is for the 4-speed manual; the top pix (part# TMEB) for the auto trans also fits the 3 speed manual. That is what I confirmed with them directly today. Look at my pix in the post #1; it is the TMEB part (as used also for the AT's). So the 3 speed and 4 speed MT's take a different mount. (I tried confirm this difference in my old interchange parts files, but it does not include trannie mounts for some mysterious reason....?!?)
