I need some help on how to get the engine disconected from the trans. Ive removed all the motor mounts and bolts that posible connect the block to the trans and supported by a hoist but it wont budge its like there frozen together.
is there any tricks to geting it out?
btw. the drive axels and shift linkage are still connected to the trans if that makes a differance and the only thing in the block is crank

the car is a 2000 si

 

is it even possible to pull the engine off the trans with it all still in the engine bay?

I think you need to use some prybars to seperate them, but i dont know if there is enough room in the engine bay to free the block from the tranny even if you do get them seperated...

 

thx ill try that, but i do have pretty much the whole bay clear so there about 6" of space to move

 

6" may be enough, i know you need to slide it off, so youll need as much shimmy room as possbile remember to work around the trans/block with the prybars, dont just go at it from one spot!

 

are you puling the trans, or the engine. Make sure that you unbolt the intermediate shaft. and the axles are out of the hubs. then just shimmy the trans out. in that case.

 

im only pulling the engine and leaving the tranny in place, but is it posible to disconect the engine from the trans with the drive axels still connected to the tranny

 

why not just pull the tranny? i don't even see how its possible to pull the engine with the tranny still there..

 

dont dink its possibe to jus pull the engine with tranny leaving in the bay. would be easier if u take tranny out 1st then pull the engine out

Yes, its possible.. but why? You aren't saving yourself much work, if any.
