Replacing tranny mount, where to jack?
Hey everyone,
I need to change my transmission mount and was hoping someone could tell me where to jack the tranny when I do this. I'm going to back the vehicle onto ramps when I do this as well so does it matter that the rear of the vehicle will be lifted as opposed to the front? Also, will this affect where I need to jack the transmission? Thanks.

Thanks, that site is a great source of information. I actually went there before posting and it says I should jack on the transmission pan. That just doesn't sound right. A friend of mine suggested jacking it on the rear slip yoke. I have no idea what that is. Also, the front passenger factory jacking 'bolt' broke while I was jacking the vehicle recently so I'm unable to use jack stands on the front of the vehicle, hence getting the ramps. Thoughts, suggestions?

Yep, just jack up on the pan with a nice chunk of wood across the width of the pan.
The rear (trans) mount doesn't have that much weight on it, maybe 10-20% of total engine/trans weight, the rear mount really only stabilises the engine/trans package side to side and up and down, it's not really a huge load carrying part.
