the first time i did it i pulled just the engine but i soon figured out thats it soooooooo much easier to just take everything out and then put everything back all in one piece.

axles and shift linkage, thats not a lot of work. imo

Well I tried what you want to attempt and let me say this, Just pull it with the tranny.I spent 5 hrs trying to ank an engine at the junk because I wanted to leave the tranny in. The PS pump, alternator, and upper motor mount dont give enought clearence to pull the engine to the right enough to drop the engine alone. Trust me we even tried lifitng the car with a fork lift and jiggling it.

you can get the motor without the tranny out of the bay in an EF without takeing anything off, its just a bitch

pull the tranny, you'll thank yourself later

Never thought it was really hard to remove the linkage, shafts and everything. Takes like 20mins.

without the right tools. its a nightmare.

wow, you took twice as long as i did, imagine how much time you would have saved if you took the trannny out

i figured ill just take the whole thing out, seeing how the throwout bearing in the tranny is too short?
