(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Pretty self explanatory question. I'm doing an engine swap, but keeping the same transmission. Hate to sound lazy, but if I could avoid removing axles to take the tranny out, I could save quite a bit of time. Has anyone successfully performed an engine swap without removing the transmission? |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I thnk you're under estimating the time involved seperating the tranny from the engine in the bay. It's not going to save you any time during your swap.

| Not Ranked : 0 score zero room to accomplish this because the engine is in the car the wrong way.

| Not Ranked : 0 score I feel like it would be more advantages to just yank everything at as a unit. That way you can also clean the engine, tranny, and engine bay before putting it back in. Why are you pulling the engine in general?

| Not Ranked : 0 score Tried it and failed. Then had to try to get axles out with everything just kinda hanging. Had to remount the engine to break the axle nuts loose. Added 2 hours to the job. Just pull engine and trany together.
