Mounts arrived

Looks like I know what I'm doing tomorrow. I'm sure it's self explanatory once I get the car on the lift, but anyone done a write up on this?

Engine mounts: A very simple dyi. Jack the car up at the jacking point and use pin type jack plates if you have them. Place jack stands under the rear cross member near the suspension mounting points. Once you have it up on jack stands, get a peice of 2x4 about the length of your engine case. Place this lengthwise between the jack and the long joint connecting each half of the engine to take distribute the weight and jack it up just enough to take the weight off the engine. R&R one side at a time starting with the bolt underneath, then the two bolts on top. Don't overtorque these as they are threaded into aluminum. 23 ft. lbs. for the two top-side bolts, and 63 ft. lbs. for the bottom 18mm nuts. Total time about 30 minutes.

Welp, just like you guys said, the tranny mounts were toast. The motor mount was ok but since I already had new ones, I changed it out.
