You can pull the transmission or engine, witch ever you think would be the easyest for you.

But you have to remove one of them to replace the rear main. It is a 1 piece seal and it drives over the back of the crankshaft.

My Honda Shadow 600 VLX doesn't keep an idle. I have to keep the choke pulled for starting and running the engine. Can't drive as any throttle kills it. New battery. What to do?

You need to take you car to a mechanic. It is obvious you do not know what you are doing. Your battery is in the electrical system. Your choke is in the fuel system. They are separate. It is normal to pull out your choke to start your engine. It is not normal to have your choke out to run your engine. As soon as your engine starts, you should push your choke in. When you pull out your choke, you close the air going into your carb. Then you push in the choke to allow air to flow through your carb. That lets you speed up or slow down. If it won't run with the choke pushed in, try pushing the choke in slower.

What system does a camshaft belong to?

the cam shaft belongs to the engine timing system A camshaft is used to open valves at specific points on the piston travel back and forth in the cylinder, so the camshaft is syrchronized with the crankshaft, and is also driven by the crankshaft. A camshaft is a steel rod with cams on it, and cams are metal parts that are in the form of a circle which has been pulled out on one side. When the cam turns against the valve, or pushrod, in some cases, the pulled out part pushes the valve open. After it turns a bit, it is no longer pulled out of the circular shape, and the valve closes. Cams vary by the duration of the time that they will hold the valve open. High performance cams hold valves open longer, in most cases, to allow the engine to breathe better, drawing more fuel, and exhuasting the spent fuel longer.

How do you replace a transmission in a 2000 Ford Taurus?

your going to need an engine lift to do this. also getting under the car is required. ;) if you dont want to bother with it ill understand but....else you need to disconnect wires from the engine. any that would restrict it from moving. break lines, sensors, etc the wires/cables generally have different size connectors as to not get mixed up. removing spark plug wires is not needed. unbolt the engine mounts. and remove anything in the way of the engine yes it needs to be pulled out. (usually the radiator) remove any bolts connecting the transmission in place. before pulling out the engine. after the engine is removed you have plenty of space to remove/replace the transmission. reverse steps to finish.
