Leaving the mount o nthe plate makes it a pain to get the tranny clear of
the mount.
It's actually best to unbolt the whole mount plate itself from the frame. It
then acts as a 'skid' and or rear foot when you have it out of the car.

Subject: Gearbox removal-one question
> Greetings,
> One question: Bentley manual says to unbolt mounting bracket of the
gearbox from the frame. seems like it would be easier to just undo the 2
bolts holding gearbox to the mounting bracket, where the 2 rubber mounting
cushions are. Any reason not to do this? Seems like it would be easier.
Thanks for all the advice,
