Here is the truck in question from my other thread about the Disk Brakes etc...
I know you have to remove the 4 Bolts that hold the Torque Convertor to the Fly Wheel to pull the engine.
I was working on removing them a few days ago, Removed the lower cover plate, and can see one on the driver side come into view. How ever the Exhaust pipe is in the way to get any leverage on the bolt.
I did remove the manifold Bolts and drop the Y pipe. By the time I got it off, it close to 5pm and they wanted us out of the yard.
I did read removing the Starter, then the bolts are easy to get to.
Is it possible to leave the TC on the engine, and pull the Transmission off?
Or is there somthing keeping it with the Transmission? Like a tab to keep it
held into the Bell Housing while lining it up to the engine so it doesn not fall out?
My thoughts are to place a Jack under the engine to hold it level.
( found a large sissor type jack in one of the vehicles)
Saws-All the transmission Tail Shaft X mount on both sides next to the Frame.
Unbolt the TS as it goes with the Gear Vendor I removed.
Lower the Engine to tilt the Transmission to make easy access to the BH Bolts.
Then pull the transmission off and let it fall to the ground.
Jack up the Engine back to level. Then Friday when they have the 25% sale, Saws-all the front end sheet metal etc... and jerk out the Engine.
Sounds like it is doo able? Or what am I missing?
I know there is something I forgot....HMMMM
