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

Important: Before replacing any transmission mount due
to a suspected fluid loss, verify that the source of the fluid is the mount.
- Raise the transmission/transaxle in order to relieve tension in the mount.

| • | The hard rubber surface is covered with heat check cracks. |
| • | The rubber is separated from the outer metal sleeve of the mount. |
| • | The rubber is split through the center of the transmission mount. |
| • | The mount is leaking fluid. |
