Removing transmission 1947 Mercury

[justanotherguy]

V8COOPMAN, I like how you think... certainly something to seriously consider. Since my exhaust is already unhooked, another option (with more steps) is to remove h2o hoses and the fan assembly (leave the radiator) and remove front engine mount bolts, then with a cradle, just move the engine forward an inch. Removing the trans is only one part of this. It all has to go back together at some point too. So putting pressure plate back on in reverse order? Hmmmm...
