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 |

Sorry, I should have clarified that. Yep, a cinder block or a couple blocks of wood should be used to support the engine if you're going to have the transmission out for more than an hour or so.
I'm like Dave - I typically manhandle the trans on the way out and back in. But as I get older it's easier to just use a jack if everything is centered. I think the 901 is about the largest transmission this is possible with - ask T.C. how far I got when I tried to clean and jerk a Mustang T45 into place.... I didn't get nearly as far as I thought I would. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
