TR2/3/3A Transmission Removal

Share this page

For what it's worth, I've removed transmissions 5-6 times and never took off the hand brake or steering wheel. The trans is not that heavy. I just stood up with it and stepped down out of the car. Supported the rear of engine with a jack with wood block(like the photo) and use another jack under the trans. just to keep it from falling down when the input shaft cleared. When you go back in, use some long bolts (4"-4 1/2" i think)thru the bell housing into the threaded hole on the engine block to support the front of the trans and line it up. Someone on here told me about that and it sure made the reinstall much easier than it had been without doing it.
 
Success, out in about 10 minutes. I had everything loose and had decided to remove the hand brake lever. I used a bottle jack and wood under the engine and a floor jack under the tranny. 2X4 is now behind the head for storage. I'll park it in the corner of the garage until my son is home for Christmas and can help put the new one in. I pick up the new tranny on Friday.
Thanks again for all the ideas!

Getting out is easy. If every thing is lined up just right it will go back easy.
