anyone have a DIY for changing out the transmission mount on a 2003 C32?

It is just a few bolts, nothing special. But u have to go under the car.

Under the car...Very funny. I appreciate the humor, I really do. BUT...I was under the car when I dropped the transmission pan and changed out the filter. I looked around at the time, but could not see it. It is in the front or rear of the tranny? Also, do I put a jack under the transmission at the pan? It seems like that might crush the pan...

This DIY should work for the C32 since Mercedes usually does not change there designs a lot and the transmission is basically the same. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You don't have to remove the (crossmember?) long black piece.
Just the two 13mm bolts from the picture, and the other two, mount-to-tranny.

and it is better to remove the crossmember, it make life easier.

Lizardjack,
Thanks for the pictures. I did it in 30 minutes. That was indeed the easiest thing I have done on my car yet...

The dealer charges an arm and a leg to swap those out. Awesome.
