Removal of Generation 1 transmission

[89SHO X2]

I have everything loose on the trans. Do I have to drop the subframe to pull the trans out? If so how do I setup to pull the frame out, 4 Bolts only, jack stand locations, etc... Thanks for viewing!

You have to remove the sway bar end link tops from the struts, remove the pinch bolt from the bottom of the knuckle, remove outter tie rods hanging them up, remove the motor mount nuts, trans mount bolts, steering rack nuts, then the subframe bolts. Have fun!

Edit: Put the rear tires on your front tires, put jack stands under the floorboards in the correct spot, then don't forget about the rest of the crap you have to remove like the speedo cable, wires connected to sensors, and axles. You want a jack under the oil pan to make sure your engine support doesn't fail and throw the motor on you under the car. You will need to disconnect the throttle cables to lower the engine to make it easier to remove the tranny. It's really not that hard if you're not trying to over rush things and lose your temper.

Thanks for the advice. I have everything disconected on and around the trans. Including the strut, steering and lower ball joint below the spindal. axles are out as well. And I put the front tires back on. Thanks!
