I have to replace the clutch, have the tranny rebuilt, rod bearings, oil seals, check the shims, timing belt, tighten the reinforced motor mounts, etc…

if you want to do it that way go for it but your trany can fit through your fender so you don’t even have to drop the subframe completely soposedly. i use to have a shoforum link to the writeup but the link is no good now.

I pull trannys out all day long. Oh wait thats because I work at a Tranmission Shop. The most I have ever done was 2 Tourasses, 1 BMW, and a Manal Frod F-150 tranny in 8 hours. the F-150 was a 89 2-wheel drive. It was so easy. But the Tourasses with the ADOE Trannys suck!

Believe me, I have been in and out of this car more than I had ever hoped for…with everything I need to do to the car I’d rather just pull it all at once and deal with it, it’s the fastest and easiest solution. That motor/trans can be pulled nearly as fast as changing spark plugs…not a big deal.
