Transmission Mount Inspection
Inspection Procedure
CAUTION
!
In order to avoid oil pan damage and possible
engine failure, insert a block of wood that
spans the width of the oil pan bottom
between the oil pan and the jack support.
NOTE
Before replacing any transmission mount
due to a suspected fluid loss, verify that the
source of the fluid is the mount.

tension in the mount.

removes the weight from the mount.

check cracks.
