B7 A4 Motor Mount install

Don't think so. You don't want to lift it too high or you risk breaking items at the rear of the head/firewall (like vacuum pump, HPFP, plastic coolant flange, etc.).

You sure? Isn’t the Trans mount point what causes the engine to start tilting backwards towards the cabin rather than keep going upwards? If the transmission is free I’d think it would have more ability to rise vertically.

It’s not the transmission mount which restricts the movement. When you lift too much, the back of the vacuum pump pushes against the firewall. However, I was able to cut a bit from the new mount stud and install it without touching the crossmember.
