Help please!! Replacing transmission mounts

[KurtM]

and can't jack tranny high enough to remove front mounts. The car is on stands and when I jack up the transmission too much it lifts the car off the stands. Do I need to loose motor mounts? I am also repalcing center bearing and flex disk so the drive shaft is out. The rear mounts are already loose.

Any help is appriciated.

Thank you

front mounts ?? I thought the trans was bolted to the engine and the only mounts were on the rear of the trans !

There are two mounts in front right behind the sway bar. I figured how to replace.

I jacked up the engine (wood on jack at oil pan) enough to swap motor mounts... while the engine was up, I was able to easily remove the front tranny mounts... perhaps try lifting from the engine? Rx'd the wrong parts though so I'll be doing it again next weekend....93' 525ia @128K. What prompts you to replace them? I'm just doing my engine/tranny mounts because...I can? Cheers, Rob.

...changing mounts won't hurt; but I'm not convinced it will cure the vibration, will wait and see. good luck.
