So I've owned my 99 DX for a whole two weeks now, the motor mount blew out, put a few big dings into the hood, and now my car is sitting in the driveway and I'm scared to move it more than 10 feet. It's probably mostly my fault since this was the first six-puck I had ever driven and a "stutter" here and there was rather violent in that car.

So now here I am, sitting on a blown motor mount. I did a quick search here and didn't find much on replacing a motor mount beyond AVID mounts suck. My question is, I can get a new stock replacement mount from the guy who sold me the car (hopefully he'll give me a discount), but I don't really want to have the car towed, and I don't want to drive it to a shop. I'm not entirely mechanically retarded... I do my own oil changes, tune ups, replaced exhaust, some suspension work, etc. Without an engine lift, is this something I can do myself (or with a buddy)?

Since this is just the drivers-side mount (the tranny and rear mount look fine), is it possible to just simply put a jack or other form of support under the motor to keep it up, unbolt/remove the top mount plate, remove the blown mount, replace the mount, replace mount plate, and voila, done? If so, where's a safe place to jack it up from? I'm assuming the crank is a no-no, and that the oil-pan will crumble like cheap cardboard. Would jacking it up from the transmission be good enough?

Any help/suggestions and minimal mocking would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
