    I need to pull the trans to deliver to someone for an overhaul and install a cam in my car.
    With this I was going to remove both item from the car. I would like to know if I should go about pulling from the top or dropping out of the bottom. Which is easier?

    Yes I know i could remove the trans and do the cam with the engine in the car, no i do not chose that option

    for just the trans. Mr Boost had my old tranny out in 1.5 hrs.

    but for a engine trans, maybe pulling it all out the top is better.

    Mr. Boost has a write up detailing his favored way of pulling both at once.

    Both can come out the top together almost faster than a trans can drop out the bottom by itself.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I wish I had a hoist to pull mine out the top. It's out the bottom for me.
