Re: Pulling engine
Not me - I pull the engine with the trans and put it back in the same way. Using a side-mount engine adapter, this makes it easy to put the clutch in, align the tranny and bolt it up, test the clutch release (with a pipe or something) and make sure everything is right. Then I put it together as a complete assembly into the car. It really doesn't take much to align the rear transmission mount, slip the u-joint onto the drive shaft and finish the install. I've definitely done it the other way - hate having to try to align the engine and transmission input shaft - pain in the butt. The u-joint at the back end is easier in my mind . . .
