Engine pulling question?

[lxlaw]

Can you pull the engine out of a DSM without pulling the tranny with it? Or do i have to pull the tranny out at the same time. I am swapping a motor from my 93 Eagle talon to my 90 Eagle Talon, and then fixing the 6 bolt and putting it in my 93 and then selling the 90 already running. I know it sounds like alot of work, but i want to get the 90 running and sell it so i can use the money to fix up the 93 that i want to keep. Oh yea they are both AWD's and 5 speeds.

I believe you either have to drop the tranny first or take it out with the engine. I don't think it has seperate mounts to support it without the engine in. I am working on pulling my friend's motor from his DSM and we are taking the tranny with it. I would recommend taking it with it also. It is alot easier than crawling under the car on the dirty ground Good luck with the swap

There's not enough room to swing the engine over and lift it all out as a single unit....

Actually there is. If you swing the transmission foward (angle it) enough, then you can pull it with the tranny at the same time. It has been done a million times before.
