88 MJ 4x4 4.0 crossmember question… trans mount bolts

[fiddlermj]

Soooo…. After rebuilding everything…to put oil pan back I lift the tranny a bit to get OP back in. Well this time my Tranny studs did not go back in the crossmember holes… any suggestions how to line this back up? I tried lifted the tans back up….from front and back to maybe tilt the studs back in…. But alas…. I'm strugglin….

You can unbolt the cross member from the frame, bolt it to the trans then use a jack and ratchet straps to get the cross member to line up with the frame.
