    Upper trans mount

    Lowered subframe maybe 1”. Bit more. And it came out. if you cant unbolt subframe due to rusty bolts you can unbolt the front trans mount to allow trans to drop just enough onto subframe.

    Battery hold down

    Chasing rattle sound. I found upper trans mount which is under battery tray. Maybe that is culprit? I do hear click/clunk when I crank motor. Thought maybe starter had issues? Is motor rocking when I crank it?

    Battery hold down

    previous owner put in bigger battery and cut out the ribs to hold edge of battery. And had no clamp so battery was just bouncing around. Time for new battery box and proper battery size. And he cut out tabs on battery box top so it could not connect to lower box. Pcm tray was just bouncing around.
