Pulling motor without dropping the tranny ???

[Pittman]

OK I have plenty of room in the front due to the use of the electric fans and all. I can see that you can move the motor forward about 6" and it should come out.

How in the hell do you get to those top tranny bolts with out dropping it. I know there are those on here who "claim" to do it.

The Engine can be pulled with out tranny. The bolts are accessable with the distributer and steel intercooler lines removed. The AC pump can be flopped over near fender. And the rad comes out. The lower engine to tranny bolts are a challenge also, but they will come out. The prop shaft needs to drop on one side to get converter cover off. The job requires alot of time and patience.

The tranny bolts can be accessed without much fuss. It helps to have a long extension, and a bud up top guiding your socket wrench to the top bolts.
Good luck,

I managed to get to the top two trans bolts without dropping the trans. You'll have to get the distributor and the upper intake out of the way though. Got them back in the same way but tied some string around them in case they got dropped.

Yeah Ill be pulling it soon. Would like to get away from touching the tranny

remove the front cab mounts and jack the body up. MAKE SURE DOORS ARE CLOSED, it gives lots of room.

i just put a motor in my 93 jimmy on saturday. i removed the upper part of the intake,the distributer. did the same to the sy plus removing the intercooler tank and lines. the best wrench imo is the gearhead ratchet type. either the straight or the new swivel head.it made things much easier to do.got the 2 top bolts out quick. also the 2 bolts on thr driver side of the tranny. the one closer to the top you can use the swivel head wrench or a short 9/16 wrench.
