I need to pull my trans. Do I have to pull the engine with it?

I believe that when I rebuilt my trans I may have put in an older differential. I have some slop in my output flanges that appear to be the result from not enough back lash on my differential bearings.

Thanks

Loosen the engine mount bolts so you can pivot the rear of the drivetrain down a few inches. You'll need to do that to clear the rear bodywork with the transmission. You'll also want to remove the muffler from the heat exchangers so you have enough room.

Some people use a jack to support the transmission when they disconnect it from the engine and pull it out; I just pull it out into my lap and support it with my feet and hands. It's not that heavy...

Remember that at least one of the engine-trans fasteners is removed from the engine side, not the transmission side. And remember to disconnect the ground strap, in addition to the reverse light wires, starter wires, and clutch and speedo cables.
