Auto trans removal
I'm not going to get into the nitty
gritty of it here
This is just a quick explanation. Removal of the auto isn't
that bad....
You're going to have to drop the whole rear suspension
on the ground and get it out from under the car, while
holding up the auto/torque tube for separate removal.
- Jack up car on to stands, remove rear
wheels.
- Support bell-housing with block of wood or
jack.
- Drain torque converter & transmission
pan, remove trans fluid hoses.
- Remove exhaust system.
- Remove exhaust heat shields.
- Remove both front and back torque tube
support plates.
- Disconnect hand brake cable from hand brake
lever.
- Remove brake callipers and tie up out of
road.
- Support (jack) auto trans, loosen/remove
trans mount bolts, lift auto about 2 cm.
- Tie up trans onto sway bar with chain or as
I used, a modified seatbelt.
- Unbolt the CV joints - 6 bolts either side,
then cover CV joint with a garbage bag or the like.
- Now lower jack and place under
cross-member.
- Remove nuts from top of shocks (6)
 
- Remove the cross-member bolts (6)
- Remove bolts from trailing arms (front)
- Lower rear end onto ground, hand brake
cable will be withdrawn from cable tube.
- Drag rear end out from under car -
carefully
- Now jack under trans, lift a bit, remove
tie up.
- Lower trans a couple of inches, disconnect
shifter cable, kick-down cable, wiring.
- Lower trans and torque tube and withdraw
from under car.
