Subject:Engine Transmission removal
From:Chris Hawkins
Date:Sun, 1 Oct 2006 08:02:13 -0400

Greetings,
My new GoWesty 2.2 engine has arrived; transplant pending (91 Westy, AT,
137,000 miles). Also the transmission is to be removed and various seals
and cooler replaced.  My questions: 1) Is it better/easier to remove the
engine/transmission as a unit from underneath the van or from the top using
a engine hoist.  2) Remove them as separate units?
My facilities include a drive over pit, however I lack a tall transmission
jack.
Any other tips are appreciated.  Thanks in advance for everyone's advice.

Cheers,

Chris H
91 Westy "Arkle"
