Step 18 – Support engine with a floor jack and piece of 2×4 wood

Tools Needed: Floor Jack and a 8-12″ Piece of Good 2×4 Wood

Position the jack under the engine oil pan, and place a piece of 2×4 between the oil pan and the jack. Then gently raise the jack till the piece of 2×4 is touching the oil pan. Make sure you are not jacking up the engine, all your doing it supporting it so it doesn’t drop to the floor when the tranny is dismounted.

Step 19 – Wrap some rope around the tranny for added support later

Tools Needed: 6-10 feet of nylon rope

Wrap the nylon rope around the tranny 2 times for added support later. Make sure it’s not going to fall off the tranny so wrap it front to back.

Step 20 – Unbolt the rear top transmission mount bolt and the top engine to tranny bolts

Tools Needed: 19mm Socket Wrench and 17mm Socket Wrench

Unbolt the top rear tranny mount bolt using a 19mm socket wrench. Then take a 17mm socket wrench and unbolt the top four tranny to engine bolts. Keep track where each bolt is from as one of them has a bracket for the oxygen sensor plug.
