REmove and mark with masking tape all hoses and wires and linkage that connects to the engine. Mark where it came from on the engine with an identical marking for ease of reinstallation. You will need to remove the bolts that hols the transmission to the engine and under the flexplate cover remove the bolts that hold the torque converter or clutch to the flexplate. Remove the engine mount bolts. The engine should be ready for removel, but be sure the tranny is supported somehow so it does not fall.
In some cars, you can get the rear bearing by dropping the transmission. For the rest, no.
I did it, just supported transmission and changed engine just like any other car.
Yes, the engine will pull right out without removing the trans.
It is located on the top of the transmission, you can access it without removing the transmission as it is connected to the engine wiring harness.
NO. You will have to remove all the transmission bolts and slide the transmission back enough to get a wrench and your hand between the engine and transmission to remove the fly-wheel bolts.
You need a cherry picker with a leveler bar to be able to take the engine and tranny out in one piece.
no. you can pull the transmission out without removing the motor. ive done this twice in less than 3 hours
You are better taking off the engine with the transmission together, I have a 93' Vigor and changed the transmission and it pretty hard, there many bolts that are hard to get; if you need to changed your engine, it will be much easier taking the transmission off while the engine is off the vehicle..
You can replace all of them BUT the 2 in the rear of the engine block with out pulling the engine. To remove the rear ones you can either pull the transmission are remove the engine your choice.
You can run an engine in/out of a car without a transmission. Car wont move and engine wont be mounted properly. So i suggest not to run an engine without a transmission unless you know what you are doing.
Assuming you have a automatic transmission the dipstick should be located under the hood, behind the engine, on the passenger side.
The fluid is drained by removing the transmission pan.
