Reply to "Pulling the transaxle need advise."

Technically I've only pulled a -1 but now have a -2 so will eventually have to be where you are (Type 1s ordinarily have just a rear mount though I had added extra side mounts but they still didn't use the same bracketry onto the frame rails as you're now facing). If I'm not mistaken the problem with what you're proposing is you'll then have to bend down/back the rear tab behind that bushing on each side, to clear as you pull the ZF out. Some are OK with that. But to avoid that you'd have to instead remove the 3 bolts from each side. Since as I recall 1 bolt on each side isn't the easiest to get to or get/keep a socket on, it may take some time. I think I've even seen where someone advocated going back with studs in those holes to make easier to reinstall and/or pull in the future. Someone else with a more accurate description may chime in, but this may keep you moving until then.
