Steps
Disconnect the battery and clear access
Switch off the ignition and disconnect the negative and positive battery cables. Remove the battery and clear the ECU and fuse-panel brackets following their connector locks carefully.
Support the transmission and remove the mount
Place a wood pad on a floor jack and support the transmission at an approved point. Remove the surrounding brace and mount fasteners, then lower the old mount out while maintaining support.
Install the replacement mount
Position the new mount and start all fasteners by hand. Adjust the jack height until the holes align naturally, install the damper and brace, and tighten hardware to vehicle-specific torque values.
Reinstall electronics and battery
Restore the fuse-panel bracket and ECU, reconnect each electrical plug until its lock engages, and reinstall the battery. Connect positive first and negative last, then verify normal starting and warning lights.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
