Folks, I should have some time to reinstall my rebuilt automatic transmission this weekend. (Big thanks to Ron's Transaxles in San Pablo, CA.) I'm inclined to mate the engine and transmission on the ground before lifting the whole drivetrain back into the car. It seems to me that this would make it easier to line things up and get everything together smoothly. I always have to fidget a lot with position and angle on my MT cars when I reinstall the engine, so it seems like putting the engine & tranny together on the ground would give more flexibility. Jim, you previously mentioned that you install the AT first, and then follow with the engine. Jim -- or anyone -- what are the advantages of installing them one at a time? Thanks! -Greg ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
