any tricks/tips for replacing rear trans mount?

94 pathfinder 4x4 rear tranny mount is shot, just wanted to ask if there were any tricks or tips to replacing it?

Thanks, (did do a search)

Probably just a jack to hold the weight while you unbolt it.

You may have to drop the cross member to have clearance to get the mount clear of the studs in the bottom of the tranny. Is that the cross member that has the T-bar anchors in it? I can't recall, but it shouldn't be an issue. Pretty straight forward, just a jack or two and a few bolts...

I tried to pry the tranny up off the mount to slip a thick piece of rubber I had in between the 2 halves to see if this was the cause of the noise I'm hearing but couldn't get the tranny up high enough, so I had to bring the floor jack out than no problem. Took it for a long drive today but guess I was going to fast (just highway speeds) to hear anything, have to drive around town and listen to see if the noise stopped. Checked the strut rod bushings also today and no play in them. If the noise is gone will have to pick up a new mount. Next project is getting the AC to stay on when the fan is on 4, right now have to wedge something under the fan control lever to get the AC to come on, it's a pain in the butt, driving along thinking the AC is on than look at the dash and it's off!!
