Pull Engine or Engine & Tranny??
For all you guys who have snatched motors out for swaps, rebuilds, etc. Which way do you think is easier, pulling the engine only or pulling both the engine and tranny? I can't see how you can possibly get to the tranny to engine bolts with the limited amound of space. Pulling both seems easier to me.
I may try only pulling the engine if someone can justify it being the easier and less time consuming route. Discuss...

Hooray! I am useful!

I like to pull both out together as getting to all the bolts that surround the transmission are a bit of a hassle. The biggest problem when I removed the Legend engine and trans was remembering the cable from the shifting assembly and the transmission. I spent hours because of it and boy did I feel dumb when I figured it out LOL.

both
 especially if you have a manual man what a pain that would be to re-align all that without a lift.

Haha I had a cheap one too from HF. It was awful trying to crank that thing. I had to spray it with Pb blast to loosen it up and it was still hard. SMH.

I've tried it both ways, definitely easier doing both together.

I know there's obviously a difference between the g1's and g2's but that's the same way I do mine
