I've always taken the engine out, leave transmission in. It probably depends on the shop equipment you have.
No. You can remove the engine and leave the transmission in the vehicle.
Begin by removing the engine wiring harnesses. Remove the motor mount retaining bolts. Disconnect the engine from the transmission. Lift the engine out.
Remove transmission oil pan
You will have to remove the transmission pan that is on the bottom of the transmission to drain the fluid.
Remove hood remove radiator, remove a/c compressor, power steer pump do not dis connect a/c or PS hoses disconnect from engine, remove starter, remove motor mount bolts 2 long ones, disconnect wiring harness from engine and transmission, remove drive shaft from transmission. remove bolt from end of transmission, mount, remove fuel line, oil cooler lines, transmission lines if it's automatic, disconnect exhaust manifolds, ground strap, vacuum lines, throttle, cruise control cables, hook up your chain to engine & to hoist & remove slowly.
If it has an automatic transmition there is no drain plug, you remove the pan to drain it.
It is on the valve body inside of the transmission. Remove the transmission pan and you will see it.
Remove the transmission dipstick and read it, it will tell what fluid to use.
no you will have to remove the radiator to move the engine away from the input shaft of the tranny and unbolt the bellhousing. Though it will be alot easier to remove the tranny with the engine on those. i just recently pulled my 4.3 out of my 88 blazer 4x4 and put in a SBC and it took forever to put the top belhousing bolts back in. If i ever have to do it again i will be pulling them out as a unit. Prepare to be turning that wrench for a long time.
It don't have 1. you must remove the transmission pan to drain the fluid.
