You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 9L3Z-6038-A fits your vehicle.

Remove the bolts attaching the mount to the transmission and then remove the mount.

Insert a large screwdriver or pry bar into the space between the transmission and the crossmember and try to pry the transmission up slightly. You can also insert a pry bar or large screwdriver and try to lever the transmission up and down. If the transmission is easily moved, look closely at the rubber insulator part of the mount; it's probably torn or cracked and must be replaced. The transmission should not move away from the insulator much. If there is any separation of the rubber, the mount is worn out.

Raise the engine a little at a time with the support fixture, watching for interference with any engine compartment components. When the engine is raised about two inches, remove the bolts retaining the mount to the engine block.

Lower the engine into place, install the through bolts, and tighten them to specifications. Complete the installation by reinstalling all parts removed to gain access to the mounts.

Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. Then, position a jack under the engine oil pan, placing a large wood block between the jack head and the oil pan. Carefully raise the engine just enough to take the weight off the mounts.

Remove the jackstands and lower the vehicle. If applicable, turn on the switch for the air suspension system.

Check for relative movement between the mount plates and the engine or frame by using a large screwdriver or pry bar to attempt to move the mounts. If movement is noted, lower the engine and lighten the mount fasteners.

Attach lifting eyes at the right-front and left-rear of the engine and support it with a crane or a lifting device.

Rubber preservative should be applied to the mounts.
