Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.

Check the mounts for cracked, hardened rubber, or separation from the metal plates. Inspect the engine mount components for cracked rubber insulators, missing bolts, or cracked metal brackets. Sometimes the rubber will split right down the center.

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.

Detach the air cleaner duct.

Raise the transmission slightly with a jack, then remove the bolts attaching the mount to the transmission. Place a transmission jack or floor jack under the transmission and raise it just enough to allow you to slip the old mount out from between the transmission and the crossmember. Remove the mount bolts and then remove the mount (note that the crossmember is removed for clarity, but crossmember removal is not necessary).

Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten the bolts to the torque listed in this Chapter's Specifications.
