I spent a month one day at Chris's house (Jordan View VW) taking out an engine and tranny from an '83.5 automatic about 2 weeks ago. We used a good floor jack to do the job. Not sure if I'd do the final drop with 1 person but with 2 people the engine and tranny dropped just fine. I still have rust in my eyes...... Bryan |
