Re: Engine removal

You do not have to remove the transmission to get the engine out. put a jack under the trans. and remove the torque converter bolts.

See if you can get a service manual, sure helps a bunch when working on these things. And as above posts said, no. But if you have the engine out, might want to pull the trans to change out the pump seal and clean up the trans and transfer case.

Re: Engine removal

If you want you can remove the engine mounts and lower the motor to get to the bell housing bolts. (Leave the frame pads.) Makes it easier but not sure if you actually save any time. Just a couple less busted knuckles and fewer swear words.
