Yes, you will need to undo transmission mount bolts and lift up the engine a bit. 👍

I think it’s the only mount that is on the side of the suspension arm, in your case will be left side mount and slightly lift up the transmission. The other mounts will twist a bit. Just do carefully and if other mounts twist too much then you may need to undo another one too. Here a video from auris hybrid for reference.
