Removed tranny crossmember w/o tranny jack.

Last night I stupidly romoved my transmission crossmember support on my
jeep grand cherokee 4x4 without the jack supporting the tranny. It
abruptly dropped a few inches and everything was still bolted up and it
did not make any alarming sounds. Is there any potential damage I did
to the flywheel or anything else? Thanks.

Maybe to the engine mounts, but most likely, if you heard no noises, you're
still be okay. I know with my Firebird, if I let that happen, the
distributor would probably be bent as it would hit the firewall.

Ig everythign was still bloted together, then the only thing I think
you're likely to have harmed are the engine mounts (from the twisting
applied to them as the trany dropped) and *MAYBE* the radiator, if
things tipped far enough to mash the fan blades into it.

Look things over, but you probably got away unscathed.

See if the rad fan dug into the fan shroud.

Gave it a good going over. The motor mounts were the only casualty.
Thx for the advice.
