Hi, a friend just bought a Mitchell syncromesh transmission, he has a new engine on a stand ready to install. Our questions is: should we install the engine with the transmission attached as a unit OR install the transmission first and then install the engine. We will be using original motor mounts.

We have both removed and installed engines a few times but never with the transmission attached to it.

What are your suggestions, engine and transmission as a unit OR transmission first and then the engine?

Thanks,
Herb in Concord CA
