Do you have to take out the transmission to remove engine?

[OzMattie]

Gday guys and girls.

 

Well I am getting ready to pull the engine out so that I can rebuild it. The workshop manual says to take the transmission out to remove the engine.

 

In the past I have never had to do this with other vehicles just wondering if anyone has removed the engine before and has got any tips.

 

Cheers

Although I'm not certain if this is applicable to the r50;

 

I've seen plenty of wd21's w/the engine pulled while leaving the transmission in...but I honestly haven't heard one way or the other for the r50

 

edit--

 

did they make an r50 in OZ? I've yet to see one!

How did you keep up the tranny? As far as I know only one brace holds the tranny.

I can't speak for R50s, but with all of the other RWD/4WD vehicles I've pulled engines from, it's actually easier to pull the engine with the transmission than to disconnect them and leave it in the car.
