I saw the one that was on here didn't seem to useful for me anyways, so if anyone else runs into this issue here's some help for you hopefully.
Tools:
Block of wood
Jack / 2x Floor Jacks
3/8 & 1/2 Drive Ratchets
2 Ft Breaker Bar
Drive Extensions
14 MM Socket
14 MM Gear Wrench (Ratchet Wrench) *Very useful for the stud bolt removal*
14 MM Wrench (For holding the stud bolt)
1. Take out / off battery, battery try, inter cooler pipe, and throttle body elbow (don't have to but I did just for a little more room)
2. I used a 3" extenstion on a 1/2" breaker bar to loosen up the first bolt on the passenger side.
3. Using 2 - 3 extensions to reach the 2 bolts on the drivers side of the mount going behind the throttle body / intake manifold and broke them loose with a breaker bar as well.
4. Now time to put the 14 MM wrench on the head of the stud and just place it there so it shouldn't fall off (Don't need to try pinning it against something, at least I didn't)
Don't take the bolts out completely until you get the nut off the stud bolt.
Use the 14 MM Gear Wrench on the nut of the stud bolt and this does take a little bit because of so many turning but better than using a regular wrench.
Now put the block of wood under the transmission and just jack it up enough that the stud bolt comes loose and after that you should be able to flip the mount upside down.
I jacked it up by the frame and the transmission where if you look the front mount and rear mount are lined up so I jacked the transmission right there.
(If I get time I will post a picture of where I jacked up instead of the oil pan worked amazing)
There is a lock washer on the stud bolt, mine was half on the stud bolt so I couldn't get it to come loose until I took a 5 in 1 and got behind the washer and pried it out some til it came free.
Then take the shift cable and pull up on it a little and wiggle the mount out towards the drivers side.
5. Now just do reverse order and your done.
The 2 bolt side of the mount I was able to do by hand no problem.
The only bolt that was a pain to put back in was the side of the mount with 1 bolt going into the frame.
I just took some di electric grease and put it in the socket some so the bolt wouldn't fall out while I used the socket + extension to start by hand (falls out lowering it to where you need)
If anybody has some more useful advice post it
