RE: 4-Speed Trans Removal Question

["Dennis C." <dennis.2914@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

No long manifolds or anything special, I was just concerned that the 
weight of the engine and transmission would pull the engine down too far 
being supported only with the motor mounts.

I think I'll just jack up the transmission enough to get the cross 
member out then see how far it wants to come down, I'll probably just 
use a block as recommended under the pan if it trys to come down more 
than I like.

I know I should change the rear seal, looks like I would have to lift 
the engine to get enough clearance to pull the pan.  I'll see how the 
trnasmission goes then consider the seal.

Thanks
Dennis C.
