El diablo I was under the impression that if you went with solids they replaced the Motor Plates as well.

If you need to remove the trans, loosen the rear 4 k-member bolts=enough droop to get the top trans bolts.
Next ?

Dont the solid motor mounts replace the Stock plates and the rubber mounts? Thats why there is so much weight savings in replacing to solid mounts. Now I think if you go Poly then you use the motor plates in conjunction with the poly's is this right?
