<VV> 110 PG Engine removal : should 'fall' out with the TC bolts removed

[Charlie]

Yes, good point ~ one jack under the diff and the other, with platform, under the engine to keep them aligned.

That's what would have worked yesterday if I had known what you all said was the reason it did not "slip off" as planned.

My plan got thwarted, but with the TC bolts removed, it should go as planned, with no "unholy loss of ATF" (like a successful naval engagement ;>}~?)

Thanks again ~

Charlie

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
