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.
For information on the engine mount, refer to
Engine Mount Inspection.
