Anybody everchange one without jacking the motor up. I took my transmission out last night and it looks to be leaking at the back corner. I have changed them in the car before but I jacked the motor up off its mount. I dont really want to unhook the mounts with the trans out though. Is it possible to just drop it down the inch or so that it will probably move and just thread the gasket around the pan?

You could prolly do this, but it will be next to impossible to clean the gasket surfaces well enough. Also would be tough not to dump any debris in the pan. I would not try it. Wait till the trans is back in or use an engine hoist to hold the motor from the top.
