I have a 1990 BII 2wd and am in the process of pulling the engine. I was wondering if any knows if I have to remove the tranny first or if there is room to remove both at once.
Thanks

If it is a genuine 2wd trans, sans dummy case and you remove the fan and radiator I believe you can slip it out as an assembly.

i have done it a few times as one unit. kind of a head ace. can be done. i find it easier to take out both the trans, engine, "dummy" t-case all as separate units.

Agreed. The easiest way I have found so far, especially with a transfer case of any kind, is to split the engine and trans, take the tranny down, and pull the engine out on it's own.
