Tranny removal 4kq

[Denis]

I did on my 100Q 1989 last week,,, the only problem was the down pipe,,, i
could pull out the tranny but with efforts..... i dont think i ll be albe to
put it back with call all my church language,,,,  so  i ll  remove the down
piep. Now without tranny i have enought room to  unbolt rusty  bolt on the
exhaust manifold. Oups, u need very  flexible human arm to  pass true all
things around.... tranny mount are tuff to unbolt (hex bolt).
