- If I have an engine and tranny together but out of the car, would it be easier (as a first timer on this) to split them to put them back in? Also, since the engine/tranny are out, is there a preferre

- NO!!! Much easier to install both as a single unit. Especially the first time. After a couple hundred R&Rs it's not that big a deal to remove or replace them 1 at a time. 5 speeds stay put if the eng
