Pulling out D16

[silverboost]

Im pulling my D16y7 from my 98 coupe, Ive been told that i cant pull the motor without separating the trans first. I wanna know if i dont have to do that and can just disconnect all hoses, belts, mounts etc.. and pull it out the top. Thanks

yes u can but u have to take off the crank pulley off and the side mount but yes ur can take it out and leaving the tranny there

Make it vertical more, you can take it out with everything on there.. even the AC compressor..

heh, I find it easier to drop everything including the tranny at once and from underneath, not through the top.

Yup, you can remove it all as one unit- it's easier. It's also definitely easier as Chaos325 said- drop the engine out of the bottom of the car. If you don't have a lift or you're not willing to lift the front end of your car with the hoist though, just take it out through the top. It's not that hard.
