Couple questions in case I do need to detach the tranny from the crossmember....

1. Where are the two bolts that need to be removed located? Are these the two bolts directly beneath the crossmember?

2. When lifting the transmission an inch or two can I use a regular car jack or do I need a special transmission jack? And where under the transmission can it be lifted?

It's now leaked about 2 quarts and from what I can see it's coming from the pan gasket. Should I try to tighten the pan bolts when I'm done with this engine r+r, or just replace the gasket?

Thanks
