Really not that much more work to pull the motor - and it would make it easier to change.

 

thats what im thinking. now im havin a issue with one of those impossible axle nuts. i love my life

 

if you can't break the axle nut loose take it to closest shop w/ air tools and get them to break it loose - if you lived in OKC I'd do it for ya

 

The easiest thing to do is just drop the tranny under the car. Comes out quite easily. Its heavy btw especially when compared to the 5 speed.

 

UNSEEN - please contact me! I would like to come a look at your car this weekend. I know I am a new member but I have followed your thread here and the one you had on vadriven. If you can pleade contact me on vadriven. My board name is s c o t t.

dude, just drop ur trans. that would be like pullin your motor just to put a clutch in.

 

On auto you actually have to pull the motor. It's not like a standard.

No, you don't. I've done it before doing an auto to manual swap, its not hard. The automatic is just heavy. It will drop right down under the car.

 

thanks guys. its all unbolted just gotta pull it off pretty much

 

Good decision. You would end up with bloody knuckles and cuts and a lot of trouble trying to pull the tranny away from the motor. been their done that. pulling the motor is just easier in the long run.
