There are four bolts holding the trans mount to the driver's chassis rail. Take the FL wheel off, and pop off the four rubber grommets inboard and fore of the strut. You'll be able to get at the bolts from there, but be careful not to drop em inside the chassis on the way out.

I am pretty sure one of those bolts is still inside my XD. I dropped one and there was no hope of getting it back from where it fell/wedged. Magnets were no help either... :-/ At least it doesn't rattle from there?

I dropped the tranny Successfully my whole reason for this is because im getting rid of the car and starting over to a cleaner shell. But i have a question. Will the motor stay put on just the passenger mother mount? Without the jack there?

Stocker

If the lower brace (with the lower roll stops/engine mounts) is out, the engine will fall with just the passenger side mount holding it. If there is an old tire under there, or two, or a stack of 2x4s or something, it should be fine if you don't move the car. If you have to move the car, rig up a brace.
