transmission removal

[exoilfld]

When I remove the 400 trans; the tech manual picture shows a splined shaft out the rear. My question is; will what the splined shaft fits into in the transfer case remain in position so the trans can fit back into it easily or will it drop or change position?

It stays in position.

Thanks, that is good to know.

There seems to be 2 sets of bolts. 4 on one side and 6 on the other. Does the trans mount come off with the trans? The manual does not seem to be very clear.

 

[NDT]

Either. The trans/transfer assy will be on the ground, if you are rebuilding the trans, the rebuilder will appreciate if you have the adapter off already.

Are you leaving transfer case in truck or taking out?

Are you leaving transfer case in truck or taking out?

you can’t leave the Tcase in the truck...it’s attached to the trans

I guess I am confused. I thought I could separate the trans from the transfer case leaving the transfer case supported but still in the truck. Is this not right?

I forgot to mention that I already have the engine out.
