0. get the car off the ground using jack stands. I like to have the car a
min. of 20 inches from the ground.
1. remove the interior so you have access to the bolts that connect the
tranny to the mount.
2. support the tranny. Note: a non-movable jack is best for this
application.
3. remove the two big bolts holding the tranny to the mount.
4. remove the entire mount to a bench
5. replace the rubber bits
6. installation is the reverse of removal.
Every time that I've tried to cut corners on this job, it's resulted in
taking a lot more than twice as long to complete.
If you don't have a scissor jack, a bottle jack will to. If you don't have
a bottle jack, you can use a trolley jack, but you have to make sure that
it doesn't sag too much while the mount is out. It's okay for the tranny
to sag a bit, but if it sags too much you may hurt the front motor mounts.
And make sure the fan doesn't hit the radiator.
