With the
Engine out of the way you can see the lower transmission mount is broken, ho idea how long its been this way assume it happen after the last time the Engine was installed in the Pilot its not something you really cant miss the trans moves forward soon as you remove the Engine/trans mount plates you would have to fight it back together with a broken mount.
The trans will have to be removed so the mount can be welded up, I wanted to go through this trans anyways since they had filled it with gear lube, I am not sure how well gear lube will circulate through a Pilot transmission given its extra thick consistency, the oil came out with a metallic hue in the oil MORE than I am use to seeing at a trans oil change but when it takes you over an hour to remove the rear skid plate and their is no holes in the skid plate to access the drain bolts for the Engine and the trans how often you think the oil is going to be changed.
Its kinds of funny if you think about it they provide no holes in the skid plate to service the Engine trans but cut over sized holes to expose the two bottom frame tubes and the disk for the brakes so they can take a beating lol the whole time I was fighting to remove the skid plate I was thinking Forest Gump is a mechanic?
