WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The transmission crossmember must be installed in the same orientation as it was removed. An incorrectly installed crossmember will change the driveline angle and cause a shudder when accelerating from a stop or above average engine presence.
  1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING & LIFTING .
  2. Using a suitable transmission jack, support the transmission.
