Thanks for all the tips and advice. Since my front suspension/steering/brakes are all in good shape, I will not be going through all the extra steps to remove the front sub-frame, although I can see the advantages of doing it that way.

My plan, at this point, is to remove the engine/transmission/final drive as a unit. Jim Decheine has done it this way as has (I believe) Ken Henderson. Since my problem started with the transmission losing third gear, I need to do the tranny as well. The drivetrain has 105,000 miles on it and was going to be due for an overhaul soon anyway.

Larry, I can't imagine having to do this five times! My wife suggested that taking advice from you on this might be akin to taking marital advice from a guy who has been married five times Rolling Eyes

. Your tips are good, and I plan to take lots of pictures as I go along and will definitely bag up all the components. I have been into the front of the engine, replacing the timing chain early on, and the top, replacing the intake manifold, so I DO have SOME experience with engine accessories and vacuum hoses etc. Thanks

I do have a lifting frame that I acquired from Steve Ferguson some time back but will need a couple of come-alongs and/or a chain hoist to maneuver the engine out of the hole. I'll get it done!
