Not really; undoing the front mount and lowering the engine will actually raise the trans slightly, which is the opposite of what you need to do. Undo all three mounts while supporting the engine/ trans, then lower it just enough to get at the problem as you don't want to be over stressing hoses and wire harnesses.
