engine/tranny mounts
The tranny mount looks pretty straight forward to change. How difficult is
it to do the engine mounts? Where do you jack the motor up at,...is the oil
pan ok?? Any tricks to look for? Also, what kind of improvements are people
noticing right off the bat when changing these?
Thanks!
Allen

Re: engine/tranny mounts
About the same as changing a tire if you have a floor jack and a 2X4
block to protect the pan.

Re: engine/tranny mounts
If you have a dead one or a couple really soft ones in now, it can be
grabby and shake taking off in 1st or rev.
It can also give you a hard time getting into some gears like 2nd and
reverse.
New mounts fix this. Otherwise not much different.
I would recommend OEM mounts from the dealer. Aftermarket ones seem to
tear up easy, went through 3 sets in 2 years. The aftermarket poly ones
seem to cause a lot of vibration from what folks have posted.
I use a 2x4 on the oil pan and the jack under there. Only change one at
a time, trying to get both in is a pain.

That depends on how corroded the bolts are.

I hold my motor up from under the oil pan.
Any tricks to look for?
Be sure to hold up the back of the trans before dropping the skid plate.

That herky-jerky action in Reverse will go away.
