What he said.
You now have a couple hundred extra pounds being supported by the two engine mounts.
You are stressing stuff in ways it was never designed to and asides from the different driveshaft angle the transmission is probably operating with a slight downward pull to it so everything is flexing and twisting inside while operating.
oh ****. glad work isn't more than 15min away. still not good.
as for it not going back on. idk, i couldn't get the outer bolts on and only one would contact back to the frame but even that one wouldn't go in straight.
think that maybe the downward pressure is pushing it away? do ya think i need to try and jack the plate up under the tranny
Using a floor jack, support and raise the transmission. Install the skid. Lower the transmission back down on the skid. Install the four center bolts on the transmission mount.
True it is common sense. One could ASSume that everyone knows this.
Well sir, I appreciate your input and help on this matter. Not to mention the confidence booster in there. Perhaps if I had the money an trusted mechanic I could hav had someone else do it Or perhaps just the guidance thru it. Then again with it being "common sense" I could hav pulled any joe off the street for their advice in the matter.
I've been a Jeep owner for just over a week and even I knew about this. Of course I'm a little OCD when it comes to researching stuff before turning wrenches.

I got it without developing any problems. Lesson well learned:don't take anything off without having proper instruction/direction. Thanks to those of you who are willing to help! Greatly appreciated!!
glad you got it put back on. hopefully there will be no lasting effects.
