I have done it both ways. But there was an issue with the engine only method - getting the engine mated again with the transmission. It took a lot of struggling to line them up straight enough to pull together when I did it. So is a choice between that and removing the transmission with the engine. I usually remove them both together - a little more work but a lot less struggling. David Councill64B72B67BGT
