so i'm replacing my stock 3sgte with another 1st gen(jdm)
i'm following the sticky post about engine removal. im not sure if its for the st185 or 165, just doing what applies to mine i guess.ive removed all the air cleaner, starter alternator, charcoal can, slave cylinder. various hoses and connectors, i've done more also, etc. i'm getting close to pull her out is where i'm getting at. question: when it comes to the tranny on the 1st gen, what needs to be unhooked to free the tranny? where are the tranny cooler lines if they got them, the shifter cables, and how hard is disconnecting the driveshaft to the rear and the front half-shafts?
i assume i'm only a few work hours away from pulling it out.
also, i read that many drop the motor out the bottom, but with the turbo/mani/dp and radiator removed, the top looks so much easier... any suggestions?
