Default Transmission Removal

Hi everyone,
I'm removing my Drive train and I was looking for information on Motor Mounts. Do they have to be loosen to facilitate the removal? I've read the post from Cajon Dude and some other but I cannot find any posts on the MM's. I am researching if they need to be done.

They don't have to be loosened, no.

Thanks Dope. I've read and I'm using your post as well as Cajon dudes to do my Slave replacement. Nice work!
I didn't see any remarks on the Motor Mounts and wanted to know if they played in the task. One thing that I ran accross is the removal of the E Brake and sensor cable. I disconnected them after the i un-bolting the upper control arm. the arm was in my way while fighting with the E-Brake cable. Other than the E-brake, the job is progressing very well.

Thanks for your reply.
Steve

Sure thing, just make sure you support the torque tube and tranny well once you're going to drop the subframe! Good luck
