took this trans out twice this way without issues. so long as your carefull not to jack it up against anything the pan wont bend. in this picture i was holding the trans up and not putting much pressure on it. anyways this was more to show where the mount is and how it looks.

yes you can use wheels or just the rims under the frame to insure that if the car does come off the jack stands the tires will catch it. i tend to overdo the stand thing. jack stands and then i leave the jack under there with a bit of pressure on the frame so if it drops it wont drop much. (i have two floor jacks) i also give the car a shove, once the car is up and ready, to see if it moves at all.
Is there a way I an change this mount without Jack stands because my dad said he knew a girl In school but her dad died from a car falling on him so Im kinda not sure If I would trust Jack stands holding up my car while I crawl under to change the mount they look kinda un steardy but Idk. Also I probably couldnt use car ramps because I wouldnt want to be able to Jack the transmission up at a angle. Idk. But I wanna start fixing my car Instead of paying people I Just dont have the tools but Im basically asking If there Is a better way to change this mount.

I am wondering If maybe there Is a website that will show step by step with text and pictures on how to check If these are bad and then replace them because that would be helpful I could buy a car fixing manual but they are In black also white I think so thats kinda lame then.

Seriously, I don't have much faith in jack stands either. I keep 4 old tires mounted on rims and put them under the car tires and lower the car down on them.

This thread, based off the title, is essentially the same as another thread posted by the user. It would make sense to keep a single thread on your issues instead of barraging the forum with multiple questions/threads all relevant to the same issues, IMO. I just hope the OP is actually listening to what people are saying on this one compared to what we were given to work with on the other threads.
