Hey Gang,
Was it my imagination or did my skid plate lift the front end of my
transmission when reattaching? After changing my trans fluid
(automatic) & filter it appeared that the transmission did rest and
lift with the skid plate. Should I drop that heavy arse plate and
check the trans mounting bolts and also alighnment? How many bolts
support the transmission on my 97 TJ? Would I check the alignment fore
& aft, port & starboard? Thanks,
Steve

The skid plate does support the transfer case (so you should support it if
removing the skid plate).
