Carl,

Sorry to read about your PITA, but unfortunately shit does happen and usually at the most inopportune time.
My contribution to what other have said is to put the back of the coach on ramps. The more level the coach is at the height
needed, the easier to disconnect and reconnect engine and trans. A high pitch make it a bear to assemble parts.

FWIW.

Okay, my engine and transmission decided to crap out on the way home from Las Vegas on Friday. My wife finagled a tow home (167 miles) out of the insurance company and the coach is now safely ensconced in my driveway at home.

Next step is to remove the engine and transmission. I have read the procedure in the service manual, done a search on this site, and emailed friends who have done this, so I'm not completely in the dark, and have a basic idea of how to get this done, but I was wondering if any of you can offer any sage advice to make things go as smoothly as possible.

Thanks,
