Once you've removed those mounts you have to find the correct mounting orientation & position again (hence the elongated bolt holes on the mounts for adjustment) which requires every bolt to be in place and moving things around to a neutral position so things don't bind and risk cracking the bell housing. 1993 Nissan 300ZX Slicktop (Oxford Gray Metallic) 1991 Nissan 300ZX Slicktop Track-Star 1992 Nissan Skyline GT-R (Gunmetal Gray) - Long Live the Z and Godzirra! - "Love cars.
