Is it safe to assume the shifter linkage yoke will slide out of the ZF when I lift the engine or should I remove it (and if so, how)?. From the looks of it, the oil filter must be removed too... Does that mean the engine has to be reinstalled sans-filter? Last oil filter change took me 20 min to get the filter out. PO swapped oil pan For a custom pan which didn't make it any easier.
I should have the engine out this weekend
While the engine is at the machine shop I'll begin the engine bay restoration... as well as suspension...
