ok , the engine has its own mounts, and balance , near center with no transmission.
the trans mount fits under the trans tail.
to remove the trans, you drop that mount.(a cross rail) (take look there see 2 out board bolts at the ends if the cross member.
you drop the trans from there, you lift the weight of the trans (below trans center, with a trolly jack and then remove the 4 bolts and then let it down,. to get all the other stuff off.
vent hoses, senders.etc.
then remove the cross member my jack is not touching the member its on the center of trans, (did you read the FSM yet?)
I remove the member (tranny cross member)
now the trans, if held with straps, you can remove trans, you do not wont the trans to roll on you , as the bell detaches.
there are 2 balance points, then engine neat, (for get this , its just sits there happy)
and the trans,
I have no idea where the trans 4wd balances. there are 2 boxes here, one side is more heavy, i forget that. but vaguely, its a tad off center for sure.
and i think a tad to the rear of the measured center line. end to end. the xfr case is the piggy.! if memory serves me well,, but not lately......grin.
but is a moot point with a trans jack this avoids all this guessing (straps) and rolling.
