Mr_Efficiency Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm in the middle of pulling my tranny to swap in the 5 speed and i really hate working on automatics and cant wait to get this monster of a tranny out of there. Whats the best way to go about removing it? do i have to drop the hole subframe or can i get away with just droping the drivers side? Any help/tips would be greatly apreciated I've pulled quite a few tranny's before but never in a W, this huge subframe really screws things up for me, I'm used to J, N, L bodies with there two small seperate subframes, its cake to do a tranny in those.

TGP5sp90 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I look it over carefully, to try to take it out without dropping the subframe, but couldn't figure it out, so I just dropped it, and believe it or not it wasn't as bad as I thought. Also this way I could get to those things that I've been wanting to, and fix them. So good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I yanked the tranny on the 91 vert by dropping the entire subframe... I could not get it out with only the drivers side lowered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93cutty Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I think it was alot easier to just pull the motor with the tranny through the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92 GP Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I think it was alot easier to just pull the motor with the tranny through the top. That's what i did. But i'd assume bringing it down you might not have to disconnect near as much shit? Just a guess. I had a cherry picker and it didn't take too long to do through the top. By the 3rd time i swapped out the 4T60 i was getting pretty good at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Efficiency Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 thats how i planed to do it but i recently moved and havent braced the rafters in the garage yet to hold the block and tackel to lift the motor and i need this done quickly so i can get my car going again, I've always done every other car out the bottom but now i know to do W's out the top, lol It will be comming out the top when i put my hybrid in come april. not doing this again its a real PITA.
