<VV> Removing 110 PG : ATF loss ? (engine should 'fall' onto rolling jack)

[Harry Yarnell (Verizon)]

My advice is to place a jack under the differential so it won't move downward as the engine is slipped off. If the platform/ jack under the engine is balanced just right, the engine should just slip off the transaxle.

If the engine falls, it will fall on the platform that is on a rolling jack, as planned.  

What concerns me is (a) damaging the TQ by trying to pull it out without releasing the 3 bolts, and (b) loosing ATF when I pull the trans/engine to remove it.

Thanks for all the insights into pitfalls !
Charlie
