Reply to "Pulling the transaxle need advise."

In pull about 20 trans a year and I do bend the tabs to get it out, but putting it in it is easyer to have the mounts off. You do have to have the engine lifted also, otherwise you will not have enough room to pull the box. With the trans still bolted to the block jack up the back of the trans so that you can remove the side mount, and get about 2 inch thick board under the rear part of the pan. If you have a large dist cap remove that, then I wrap a chain around the stub axles and above the case and use the hoist to take it out, it save my back.Once you get it out change the throw out bearing , check to see if the front seal to see if it looks like it is leaking.
