It looks like it is just easier to pull the trans and engine out all at once since it's FWD and then you can just work on the whole thing on a bench or floor.

@smithraymond09029  Perhaps, but it didn't want to lose my refridgerant in the system. I also thought it would be a cool looking video this way.

yep on all front wheel drive the bottom is easier.. I can do taurus ax4n axode in about 1 hr 15 min out and back in again filled and ready to be road tested. That one I would have put a scissor jack between the back of the engine and the sub frame pushed it forward while letting it hang on the engine mount.. in order to clear the diff from the frame and they pretty much fall out from the bottom. some like the taurus you have to remove the sub frame.. air tools are your friend..

@mxer330 Great tip man. Yeah, air tools would helpful. I got them, just no compressor since I hung up by wrenches and became a filmmaker.

wish it went that fast in real life LOL

@ipodtouchfan221 haha

thats the hard way u would have done it from the side...just tilt the egnine down a lil take the tranny out from the bottom

[shanethemainman]

Oooh i thought you were going to remove a tranny.. like remove one from a night club..

[tommyjensen6]

I'm doing the exact same thing right now except I'm in my second month.

anyone who works that fast will most likely forget something...unless of course, they're an android. I think it's interesting how some Overhaulin' or Wrecks to Riches shows appear to mainly use hand tools vs air tools. I haven't see those in awhile though. I bought an 01 Buick Regal in the fall of 07 for $8,000 and so far it's been the most expensive car I've ever had to maintain. Two ( rebuilt ) racks new rims (chrome peeled & leaked ) and tires, brakes and now the trans is acting up when hot.

5 people thought "tranny" in the headline was another word for "Transexual" which they were ment to search for.

@arnoldt14 FWD you can access the box from the engine bay and can remove via the bonnet. Sure there is a little less room but once you remove everything the east west is very easy. Becouse of this you dont need to hoist the vehicle making it very easy. Also it can be done where the vehicle parked rather then moving it into the shop. Every man for their own but i like the East West jobs rather then North South ,just can get it done faster. Hate driving FWD cars though "Real cars push not pull" :)

[arnoldt14]

@fpvshitsonhsv how is a FWD more easy? I think it's harder because there is less room to work on a FWD car vs. a RWD car or truck.
