Re: Can I support the tranny with a jack if car is on ramps?? 200 87

posted by  someone claiming to be Zee on  Mon Jul 23 22:11 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Let me get this straight.....you're changing the transmission mount, not removing the transmission?

Driving it up on ramps in the fron is OK, but it would be a big help if you could borrow a pair of jack stands for lifting the rear. More elbow room for you.

I use my floor jack to support the transmission while lowering the supproting crossmember and changing the mount. All you're doing is preventing damaging the motor mounts.

You'll need a 14mm socket on a 6" extension to get to hat mount bolt inside the crossmember.

Support the tranny, loosen the 14mm mount bolt, take down the crossmember (not the orientation of the spacers), remove the mount.
