Changing motor mounts, '95 FWD 3.0L How to support engine
Changing motor mounts, '95 FWD 3.0L How to support engine
I have a '95 LeBAron and I have to replace the motor and transmission mounts, I think. The shop manual says for the right and front to support the engine with a floor jack, but I'm not sure where. I can't put the jack under the oil pan, and I don't see another place big enough. Where should I do this? I have a 16" piece of 3x8 that I could use to spread the weight around, but I don't know if I should use it or where? For the left motor mount -- Is that the one that is also called the transmission mount??? -- it says to use a transmission jack. What is the difference from a floor jack? I don't have a transmission jack, and I thought I could just use the floor jack again. Would that be OK? Do I even need all three? When parked, the engine rocks back when the engine is accelerated. I'm not sure I can do the left one myself, and if I'm real lucky, you will tell me that's not usually a problem. Only the right one seems easy. Thanks. Remove NOPSAM to email me.. |

you can use a floor jack instead of a tranny jack, its just a mount, its not like your droing the tranny (though i have used a floor jack to swap trannies in my neon) remember, if you do one mount at a time, all you need to do is prop the engine up, not balance it. a 4" piece of 2x4 is enough to distribute the wieght on the oil pan -- mopar or no car ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mopar or no car's Profile: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...?userid=525601 View this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=629763 http://www.automotiveforums.com |
