Does anyone know how to take a transmission out of a 1999 Ford Taurus?

I have heard that one can loosen the motor and transmission and hold the motor up with a hoist and lower the carriage instead of pulling out the whole motor in order to take out the transmission. This will allow one to keep all the odds and ends still affixed to the motor above while one replaced/fixed the transmission. I know that I pulled out the power steering unit this way without having to pull the motor. My ex-wife got her transmission fixed in a Taurus this way.


How far can a diving Bell go?

There are different types but the most advanced- crew inside and supplied by air from the surface- the whole works is supported by a large floating crane with plenty of extra lines- hoist and air- they have gone down thousands of feet. The Bathysphere of William Beebe and Otis Barton- still intact at the NY Aquarium is typical of the advanced diving bells- used around l934. Bells vary widely in size. in l9ll a German ( judged from his name) made a descent in what was called a Hydrostat that went down over l600 feet, breaking all records. this craft, as an aerostat is a balloon, may have had something akin to ballast tanks. The Bathyspheres, being captive had no natural buoyancy,- if the cable snapped- look out below! Bells usually have thick glass viewing ports for observation and are also called by the rather broad term of Observation chambers. Several with maybe a l2-man capacity plus operator have been used on captive hoist sites at Amusement Parks, these have a spring-assisted surfacing feature mimicking the ( Blow negative) effect on a submarine. Good fun and if in open water- like those at Atlantic city- some fishy sight seeing as well.
