they are kind of apain to install..but i did one at a time..jacked the car up and put it on stands.
-took off wheel and fender liner on drivers side
-put jack under oil pan and put a large 2x6 or something under it to distribute the wieght of the tranny and engine.
-i pulled the front mount off firsttake it to the work bench and pound the stock mount out after i bent the tabs on it straight
-to get the mount in is a pain in the ass but i used avise and some oil on it and slowly worked it in.
-then i just installed it and moved on to the back one.

i have them, easiest way...

basically you have to take the front nose off the car. get that off, take the screws out of the inner fender liner and then the front piece with the bow tie on it pops off and there are a few screws under there as well. get that off then proceed to take off the bolt that holds the window washer reservoir on. there will be a blot behind there that needs to come off. get that bold out then the front mount should pull out easy enough. press and re insert new bushing.

As for the rear, i have heard many different ways to do it, after a while of me trying many ways, i found the best way to do it is to take the brake booster off enough to pry it forward enough not to crease the lines or break them but to be able to take the booster off. pull the mount off from the top and it comes out easy enough. thats how i did it without problems. if you need more info, pm me and ill help you through it better.

All of that seems too elaborate. I'm not saying it won't work, but I think there's an easier way. If you can get your car up onto a higher platform (ideally a lift), it should be much simplier. Support the transmission with something and replace the mounts one at a time.

Matt,
In the box that had the front trans mount bushing and sleeve, with the TTR decals, there should be a set of VERY detailed instructions on how to install these. They are much more detailed than the prothane brand instructions.

Let us know if you didnt get this....

What brand bushings did you get? TTR or Prothane? I didnt look up your order...

If you have an instruction sheet on either brand, that is the one. They are very easy to install, just by looking at the car, you should be able to figure out what needs to be done.

Yes TTR (Turbo Tech Racing) we make a more solid trans bushing kit, at the same price as the prothane... Much more firm...

im just saying how to overcome most of the problems ran into while replacing them, im sure the instructions tell you how to but may not tell you the easiest way.
