Steps
- Support the transmission and move the intake
Raise and support the vehicle safely, then place a floor jack with a broad wood block under the transmission to support its weight. Remove the air-intake fasteners, loosen its hose clamps, and unplug the intake sensor so the assembly can be moved aside.
- Remove the old mount
Loosen the bracket fasteners and remove the mount's center bolt. Remove the stop and its fasteners, lift off the bracket, then remove the bolts securing the rubber mount and take the mount out.
- Install and secure the new mount
Set the replacement mount in position and install its fasteners loosely. Refit the bracket and center bolt, raise the transmission only enough to align the parts, then tighten the mount and bracket hardware to the vehicle specification before reinstalling the stop.
- Reinstall the air intake and check the mount
Return the air box to its original position, reconnect the intake hoses and sensor, and tighten the clamps and fasteners. Remove the support jack gradually, inspect for contact or shifted hoses, and start the engine to check for abnormal movement.
