Hi guys! So I've come to the conclusion that I FINALLY need to swap out transmissions. (I have a replacement on blocks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
I've done a couple engine rebuilds but Ive never just swapped a transmission out without pulling the motor. First question...is it possible to just pull the tranny without dropping the motor? What are some things I should watch out for, and what is super important to replace while Im under the car and swapping trany's?? Thanks guys! -Christopher |

Yep, easy peasy. Of course, get the car up on jackstands (or ramps work well in this case too). Then use a hydraulic jack with a wood block to very lightly support the back of the engine. Remove the transmission through the normal procedure and reinstall the new one. Don't forget about the ground strap and the orientation of the giant cup washers on the rear trans mounts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Be sure to replace all seals on the new transmission before it goes in. Speedo drive seal (McMark makes an awesome kit for this), input shaft seal, output shaft seals, linkage lever seal. Check the condition of the clutch and throwout bearing while you're in there. If there is any doubt as to the health of the engine's rear main seal, you might consider pulling the flywheel and doing that at the same time. But you'd also need to check endplay and do other stuff - in which case, you'd probably just pull the motor at the same time. |

Then when you are done with removal of the tranny block the engine up on something other than the hydraulic jack. We all know how "Yeah it will be out for a few hours" turns into a couple of months before you know it. A hydraulic jack should never be left to hold a load for long. |
