replacing gt trany mount

kent · 07-01-2007

I'm getting ready to replace the trany mount on my gt, it looks pretty straight forward but as I have not done it I just wanted to verify. I'm planing to put her on stands then support the trany with the floor jack after that its just remove the bracket , replace rubber mount then re-bolt correct? Any thing I'm missing ? Thanks Kent

It is as simple as that.

To make things go smoother, do not tighten the bolts on the rubber mount until you get the ones started that mounts the cross member to the floorpan. That way you have a little "wiggle" room to get the bolts started in the floorpan holes so you don't have to ply on them and take a chance on messing up the threads or breaking the spot welds on the captured nut, and losing your religion

OK thanks I thought it looked simple ... but I've made that mistake before.
