You are right, it is no easy task. First, I would remove the top plate of the transmission and try to see what the issue is. You have two choices to remove the transmission.

Either remove the engine or pull the differential and driveshaft back far enough to drop the transmission. You will need a spring spreader for this.

Personally I prefer the latter method.


On the other hand, its winter. A good time to pull the engine and refresh everything. Good luck and keep us posted on your findings.

Shadetree:

What is different from pulling the rear end and removing the trans on a 1936 and 1937? I pulled the rear on the 1937 and easily removed the transmission. What on the 1936 is different? Why do you need a spring spreader on the 1936?

Thanks. TM
