Getting the trans out shouldn't be that big of a deal, either. The easiest would be a rolling trans jack. But you can also use a motorcycle/ATV jack. Either raise the fram enogh to roll it under, or use the crane to lift it out.

I agree! Off with the hood, Raise the rear off the floor a few feet Grab the engine and tranny as a unit and pull it. This is easy if you have the luxury of a lift and hoist with leveler. If not you can still raise the rear and support with stands. Raising the back of the car helps reduce the severe angle needed to clear and pull as a unit. I install in this manner with my builds. |
