I can easily remove the entire drivetrain by myself!

Well, a hydraulic jack is also used...  ggg


And it is WAY easier to balance and install an entire drivetrain than 
wiggle the engine back onto the transaxle in mid air.

Ask me about changing a 4 speed tranny without removing the drivetrain 
in my earlier years!  ggg

I should be back to picking up engines in a few months. Ha!
