ok, so, i took off ALL the enging mounts, and it seems the transaxle it catching on the frame, so, now what should i do?
is there a certain way to pull this out?
like, sideways or something?

[turnandburnae86]

what car, what motor? it should just pull out, providing you have everything disconnected...

5sfe 2.2 liter 5 speed manual transmission inside a st184 91 celica

the engine seems to be loose, but it seems like the transaxle is getting caught on the car somewhere out of my reach,
i believe i removed 4 engine and transaxle mounts,

You need to tilt the engine to get it out. Tranny side lower. Also the power steering pump will get in the way. I usually keep side mounts on until the engine is on the hoist and tranny mount come out last. Use shorter chain on passenger side so engine will tilt when you hoist it.

i got it out!
thanks pineapple!



so, has anyone here done this swap?
i was wondering if i need different cv joints after the swap?
