Hello all. I'm currently replacing the engine on a 1995. It's a 3.8L V6 and I'm replacing it with an identical engine. The game plan is to pull the engine and transmission together, mount the trans on the new engine, and drop it in. I'm wondering if there are any special tools that I may need to make removing and attaching the transmission go more smoothly. This is the first time I've tackled a job like this and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

do you have a lift or do you just plan on using jacks? and do you have a cherry picker for the engine?

 

Cant do it without a cherry picker

 

I don't use a cherry picker....I just use my uber human strength

 

I do have awheeledenginehoistand a stand as well. Is there anything I need to get to help with the installation of the transmission? (The transmission is one of my biggest concerns.)

 

You will need the adapters to disconnect your fuel lines. Less than 10 bucks at your local part store.

 

Have the adapters and already pulled the lines. Anything else you guys can think of?

 

I know people who have done it with a tree branch. It's some redneck **** but hey they did it.
