My '74 2.0 leaks transaxle gear oil, so I want to pull the transmission (JUST THE TRANSMISSION) and redo all the seals. Having a very small garage, I must remove the tranny in my driveway, then put the car back in the garage while I do the seals at my leisure. Question: can I push the car back into the garage with dangling axles; what do I do with them, support them somehow? Also, is there a way to support the weight of the engine while I roll the car back into the garage? Trying to avoid leaving the car out in the elements while I do this job, as I have never done seals before and don't know how long its going to take me if I run into problems. Need advice badly. Thanks.

Jonathan said it right! The rear of the engine must be supported or you will rip the motor mounts, and bend the pick up points on the ends of the mount bar. If your going to move the car, pull the whole drive train, then seperate the two. Then you can clean the engine and engine bay too. Axles can hang when rolling, new problem.
