about to install motor mounts and had 2 questions
As far as loosening the tranny mount what is acceptable? The bolts in the center of the cross member or do I have to take off the cross member and support the tranny?
Second is the most common way of lowering and raising the engine by the oil pan nd a block of wood? Or should I look elsewhere?

Support the trans and remove the X-member.
Wood is good for the engine mounts.

I used block of wood on both engine and trans. I supported the trans and took off skid plate then cross member then unbolted mount. my xj had the exhaust bracket between trans and mount.
