A set of ramps, a jack with a block of wood, and some tools. Patience would go a long way also.

There are two trans mounts in the rear...the ugly bear of a mount on the driver side, and the easy dogbone on the passenger side.

Which of the two are you looking into replacing?
2005 GXP - White Gold Pearl, no mods...yet.
2000 SSEi - Resurrection in progress. Built L67 w/L32 fuel rail, ported heads, and cam. Camaro front brake system, GXP cluster, and much more in planning.

Ah. Add your favorite alcoholic beverage to your list. LOTS of it.

Oh, and a good pressure washing under there the day before you start on it would help you out, at least getting you less greasy.
