Notice: In order to avoid oil pan damage and possible engine failure, insert
a block of wood that spans the width of the oil pan bottom between the oil
pan and the jack support.
- Use a jack or a utility stand to raise the transmission/transaxle in
order to remove the weight from the transmission/transaxle mount and create slight
tension in the mount.
 
- Inspect the transmission/transaxle mount. Replace the transmission/transaxle
 mount if the transmission/transaxle mount exhibits any of the following conditions:
 
| •  | The rubber surface is covered with cracks. | 
 
| •  | The rubber is separated from the metal plate of the mount. | 
 
| •  | The rubber is split through the center. | 
 
- If there is movement between the metal plate of the transmission/transaxle
 mount and the transmission, tighten the transmission mount fasteners to the correct
tightening specification.
