Re: 90q engine and tranny removal

Anyone know if it's possible to take the engine and transmission out of a
90 90q 20v as one unit? Would save me a few extra headaches. Any BTDT?
==============================

Paul,

No BTDT but my guess would be yes. By dropping the subframe. When my tranny
had to come down, in my 4KCSQ, for flywheel replacement, the guy dropped the
front subframe, loosened the engine mounts and it looked like that might be
an option for you. Of course we are talking different cars but I bet much of
the design is alike.

Good luck. I hope all works out well.
