Tranny mount question

Can anyone help me figure out how to get the tranny mount holes the lineup… I was missing a bolt that from what I was told, cant cause the popping noise that I have been having lately…

 

you'll need to loosen the remaining bolts while supporting the weight of the trans with a jack somewhere

then use the jack to adjust the height until you can get the last bolt threaded in, then tighten bolts after all of them are in

is how i did mine

 

Where did you put the jack in order to hold the weight of the tranny? I went up another this morning looking to see where I can put the jack and didn't really find a good spot… May have to use a 2 x 4 I'm assuming?

 

well my truck is a manual trans and 4wd so it was easiest for me to place the just under my transfer case

looks like yours is an auto so pretty sure you don't want to put the jack under the trans oil pan, might need a block of wood to get at a good spot

if you're strong enough you might be able to loosen the bolts and push up with one arm and wiggle in that last bolt with your other hand? the mount itself is going to keep the trans from falling down just don't take the bolts all the way out

 

Thank bud, I'll give it a shot tomorrow...
