Make sure you drain the tranny first or you will have a mess. You can also unbolt the shaft from the diff and pull it out from behind. Again,; /html/spridgets/2007-03/msg00528.html (7,945 bytes)

Re: engine/tranny removal (score: 1): Author: derf <derf247@gmail.com>; Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2007 09:28:38 -0600; Probably best to unbolt from the diff, then pull down and out from the tranny, after draining the tranny. You'll be under there anyway, I think, to undo other things, IIRC. Cheers, Derf; /html/spridgets/2007-03/msg00548.html (7,583 bytes)

But, the Spridget flange only goes on two ways, not four, so you have a 50-50 chance of getting it right.
