I only have the lift for today and tomorrowand im stuch at one point. I got pertty much everything taken off. But im stuck Should I take the engine out with the trans mission of seperate. I have a tranny jack and I wanted to ask just in case.



Should I take off the intake manifolds?

Should I take off the exhaust manifold?

How hard is it to get to the transmission bolts anything I have to remove to get to them?



I need help ASAP like I said I only have the lift and the tools for the weekend.

 

Takin the tranny out as well is probably easier (i think) i went thru hell gettin to all the bolts i needed to when i had to drop just the box... just take off the slave cyl. and disconnwect the starter... then drop the tail shaft.

 

it is an auto car. The motor is going in to a manual. But you are saying I should take out the transmission with the motor?



I need to take off the intake manifolds to get the wire harness of the engine right? and are the intake manifold gaskets reusable?

 

how manny tranny bolts are there?

 

5...top one is hard as hell

 

I did mine leaving the trani on the car, yes it's a bitch getting to some of the bolts, but taking the entire trani is more difficult.

 

I found it pretty easy to take off the tranny bolts

 

I also left the tranny in and found it pretty easy. But the manifold removal is what pissed me off.

 

Take off the intake manifolds and you can unplug the wiring harness from the engine. You can also get to the tranny bolts alot easier. You can leave the exhaust manifold on, just unbolt it from the rest of the exhaust, but you can take it off to it will free up more space. It would be best to replace the intake gaskets, but if there in good shape you can probably reuse them.

 

I suspect the top one is harder on the FD, it's pretty easy on the FC.



doing the engine is easier than the rear end or trans in my opinion.
