Slip yolkes are the suck. If the rear end blows, I can't just disconnect the rear drive line, and drive home on FWD
You can on samurais, just not on trackicks. Unless you make a SYE for your trackick.
I also have a new rebuilt transmission to put in it. You can remove the engine and the trans as one unit (so I have been told) But I don’t know if it can be done with the A/C condenser in. If not then I will have a person drain the A/C and remove everything. If need be I will remove transmission from engine.
I've never removed the engine and tranny as a unit, so I can't tell you what exactly needs to be done to get them out together. It is really not hard to disconnect the tranny from the engine.....4 main bolts and 2 starter bolts is all that holds the tranny to the engine.
If you try to take the engine and tranny out as a unit.....know that if the driveshaft (intermediate shaft) between the tranny and tcase seals the backside of the tranny and keeps the oil in the tranny from leaking out. So you either need to....1) drain the tranny before you attempt to remove it, or 2) unbolt the intermediate shaft from the tcase and make sure it stays stuck in the back of the tranny. It just has a slip yoke on the tranny end of it, so when the tranny is tilted, it will fall out, if not tied/held in place and the oil will run out.
True dat..
Ewwww.
