What is the quickets way to pull a engine and tranny at the same time.

just pull the axles out loosen all the mouts and disconnect the wire harnes and the shift

cables then yank out or what we are trying to yank the engine and tranny in one peace
thanx guys 93 accord ex with f22a6

 

Hit a telephone pole with the car sliding sideways. I think that happens on some of these JDM Clips that are sold.

I prefer taking it out the top with a cheery picker. Unless you've a single post lift, you're going to have a bitch of a time getting the car high enough for the Engine/Tranny assembly to scoot out from under.
It's really a no-brainer, just move stuff out of the way that doesn't look like either an engine or a transmission and give them a "yank".

If there are any specifics to be discussed, get yourself a roll of masking tape and lable every connector and vacuum hose that you take off. That way you won't need to bother anyone about vacuum harness diagrams.

And you do have a shop manual to refer to, RIGHT?

like P said, out the top unless you have a single post lift.

Get a Helm manual, it shows you step-by-step everything that needs to be done to remove the motor.

 

iam using a cherry picker i just wanted to knoe if it was safe to yank the engine and tranny at the same time if so please list what to take loose. its a junked car not a project car some dick wants the engine and tranny so he can run 20 psi lol and wants to pay me 1300 to get pull it out

 

I disagree with these guys, take it out the bottom it's much easier.

Disconnect all the linkage and wiring, remove subframe, pull the axles, remove f & r motor mount, lower the car to the ground using the cherry picker so the motor's sitting on the ground or on a dolly, remove the last 2 motor mounts, lift the car up over the motor using the cherry picker, and pull the motor out. Installation is the reverse of removal.

I've taken motors out the top, out the bottom using the cherry picker to lower the motor, and the way I describe above, and of the three methods the above is by far the easiest.

I'd agree with saying it seems easier to remove the engine from the bottom because you don't need to tilt the assmebly to get it out. But how would you lift the car with the engine hoist? Where would you hook up to?

to the OP, yes, it's fine to remove both the engine and tranny as an assembly by either the top or bottom. As for what to remove, remove anything stopping the motor from coming out. Radiator hoses, heater hoses, unplug the wire hareness, disconnect the shift linkage, remove the intake pipe, unbolt the header, remove the power steering hoses, remove the belt from the AC compressor and then unbolt the AC compressor or if your AC is discharged just remove the AC lines from the compressor, vacuum hoses, ground wires, and motor mount bolts. (thats all I can think of right now, but I probably missed something)

Probably grabbed by the radiator support. If I were to do it that way, I'd probably use a chain fall and an overhead roof truss.
I find it easier with a Cherry Picker / Powertrain proceedure since it's easier aligning everything going back in by moving the cherry picker rather than horsing everything around the other way.

But, To each his own.

I use the bumper support (not sure what else to call it), but the rad support would probably work too as P suggested.

I've found alignment of the engine is the easiest when the motor isn't hanging there swaying around - drop the car back down over it and the mounts will line right up.

But as P said to each their own, everyone has their own method and they all get the job done in the end. I've just found the method I described to be the easiest, as I've personally tried all three.

 

ah, wasn't thinking of the bumper support. I wouldn't think the radiator support would be able to support that much weight.

I've only tried the engine hoist and dropping the motor in from the top method, it wasn't to bad getting it aligned just the rear motor mount bolt was a pain, but maybe I'll try dropping the car over the engine and then lifting the engine into postion when I swap my F22 into my hatch. That way I don't have to tilt the motor to get it in and then tilt it back to mount it. It seems like it would take a bit of work to align the chassis around the motor, but since I've never tried that I don't know.

Thanks for the ideas, I welcome any idea to help make that process easier.

 

aligning the chassis over the motor is actually much easier, simply because the motor isn't swinging around on chains. it's completely stationary, and w/ the engine hoist holding the car up it's very easy to line up the left and right mounts.

here are a couple of pics of this process with my car:



now who the hell is this psycho?


had to put the *** end basically on the ground, without the OEM rear lip it wouldn't be this tight:


motor sliding in:

nice

I would imagine if you used pieces of wood or something to position the engine level on the cart, that would make things a bit easier. That way the engine is in position and you just need to drop the chassis onto it. IDK, just a thought.

 

well that picture was taken hastily as we were rolling the motor under the car. We did level it on the dolly a bit prior to dropping the car down over it, but you're right, the more level the easier it will be.

Once you line up one mount the motor will kinda pivot into place while lining up the other mount due to the leverage of the 1st mount.
