Fwd Impact Socket
Is it possible to drop the transmission on a 97 dodge caravan?
My freinds caravan was in a wreck, they just rebuilt the transmission, and we want to try and salvage it to sell it on ebay or something, we arnt motivated enough to take it to a garage and get a lift, will it be possible to drop the transmission, with only jack stands, on site at the yard using only an impact wrench, sockets and other neccessary tools, if we remove the wheels and axles, and unbolt it?
Any guidance would be appreciated, such as the easiest way to remove it, things that can be removed that may be in the way, anythign helpfull
Its the 6 cyclinder fwd automatic
Ive never dropped a transmission, but one time i saw a guy do it, and all he did was unbolt like 6 bolts and slide it off, it was off an sbc with rwd though, is there anythign i need to disconect other than….linkage to shifter controls, wirign clips, axles and the bolts that hold it to the engine before sliding it off?
Sure. Have a tranny jack on hand to take the strain off the bolts when you get close to having it loose.
Pull the CV axles off first, from both ends. No point messing with those.
[edit] pulling the tranny from a RWD vehicle with an SBC is nothing like what you’re getting into. It’s like the engineers secretly set out to make an engine that was easy to tinker on when they made the SBC, so don’t let that get your hopes up. But don’t let my warning dissuade you, either. Get the excess drivetrain off and you should be able to pop the tranny off the engine without too much trouble. If I recall, the shifter linkage is a cable through the firewall, don’t forget to get that loose ’cause that rascal is stiff and will cause the tranny to swing ’round funny if it’s still connected.
