Default Transmission Mount DIY

does anyone have any tips/pointers on going about changing the transmission mount on the GS4? does the transmission need to be supported when the mount comes off and will it fall? any help is appreciated.

thanks.

we supported the tranny with a muffler stand when we changed out the tranny on a friend's IS300. keep the bolts on the bell housing attached and have a good stand for the other end of the tranny

just use a jack to support the rear of trans & take pressure off the mount while you do it. should be simple.
