Makes somewhat sense but you would still have to drop the sub frame, and I don't have an extra set of mounts not do I want to spend tons of money to get them

I don''t know many A4 owners that just have an extra motor mount brackets laying around and they aren't cheap brand new.

Taking the motor out looks like less work then playing Red Neck mechanic. lol

The other problem is, isn't the subframe under pressure? So how do I get it back in place?

...the what's so time consuming about removing the oil pan? I thought once you drop the subframe you just undo the bolts and it comes right off? Am I missing something?

i think its just the face you have to take off the sub frame is just a bugger pain in the ***.The 2.8 oil pan is right theres just hit the bolts with a 10mm drill and it takes no time at all.
