Clearance question

[tmason]

I was changing my oil and noticed the clearance between oil pan and crossmember is really tight like a zip tie thickness of clearance. It seems like engine/tranny flex when driving would make them touch? Is this right? Thanks

Two new engine mounts required. Not expensive .

Go ahead and get the tranny mount as well. That can also create some clearance issues if it is sufficiently squished.

I was able to replace passenger side but driver side looks to connected to thottle linkage so are there any tricks to remove that bracket. Thanks in advance,Tim.

Just note how the spring, bushing and clip attach it to the mount. It will be simple once you get those off.

and take the opportunity to clean and lightly grease the bushing before reinstall
