I think the answer to this question is obvious, but I'll ask anyway.
I am about to remove the TR4 A OD transmission from my 56 TR3. I've read the procedure from all the usual sources. Once the transmission is out, I need to move the car across the garage on a set of "skates" for storage until I get the replacement transmission in a couple of weeks. I am assuming that I still need to support the rear of the engine versus let it hang on the motor mounts while moving the car. I plan to build a cradle that will sit upon a small furniture dolly so that everything will roll together. What am I missing? Who else has done this successfully - how did you do it?
OK - second question: with the drive shaft unbolted from the tranny, it will only move backwards on the splines about 2.5". Is this enough for the tranny to clear when I pull it backwards?
Thanks, in advance, for any help!
