I'll need to support the engine to remove the tranny, right?

I hope I'm not coming back too late on this.
Loosen the rear motor mount crossbar, I use 3" bolts to replace the OEM
short bolts, just drop them 3" and let the engine hang loose on the
longer bolts.
If you drop the angled weight of the engine and tranny on the motor
mounts you'll ruin them.
So many little tips and tricks but I'm hoping to save you some of the
hard learned lessons that have cost me money .
