Hi,
I am currently taking out my D15 and swappin in a D16 Si.
well I finally got to the part where I can unbolt the engine and lift it out of the engine.
All hoses, wires, cables, A/C, belts, axles, and everything else except the engine and tranny have been removed.
Well the question I have is when I unbolt the engine mounts and have the engine held up what is the best way to take the tranny out.
Or can I just leave the tranny connected and just lift the whole thing out?
I was thinking maybe lifting the engine about halfway out and suppoting the tranny with a jack or a cement block and just unbolting the engine to tranny bolts. Then taking the tranny out the bottom and the engine out the top?
Thanks
I will be doin this tonight at around 10 or 11 when I get some friends to help me with this.

unbolt all 4 engine mounts and remove the engine/tranny as one assembly.
