With the help of my two buddies we were able to pull out the engine with the tranny attached. It took us longer to pull it out. We want to make it sure we dont damage any parts. Removing the cable attached to the tranny is abit complicated. Somehow I managed to remove them without breaking any connectors. The last screw to be remove on the engine are the engine mount screws. After that I unbolted the tranny support. This will give me access to the three bolts on the differential connected to the tranny. Remove only the bolts that connects the tranny to the rubber plate. Leave the other three bolts on. You need to tap the differential to lossen fron the tranny. Start lifting the engine until u pull it out all the way.
Until next week for putting it back. I'm waiting for some parts to arrive.
I decided to buy a used engine with less than 60000 miles on it. Mine has 203000 miles already. I paid $1317.00 free delivery and no core charge. The engine was pretested and passed compression test. Has one year warranty.
Did I get a good deal on this?
