Default Support the front of the transmission with a jack per AWE's instructions. Link inside

And yes, use a block of wood to distribute the load if you're not using a transmission jack with a wide head.<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/media/pdf/DTS_install.pdf">Click here</a></li></ul>

Default Subframe can hang,

Hell, you have to force it even further down when taking the trans out.

As for support, use jack stand in line with where the mounts bolt to the trans. This is per AWE's instructions as well:<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/media/pdf/DTS_install.pdf">AWE DTS Install</a></li></ul>
