Re: need help, i want to remove my engine(cavalier 95 2.2)

those engines are kind of a pain to pull. i wouldn't pull it unless i was changing out the pistons/cam/crank. if you really want to pull it it's a pretty straight forward procedure just a hell of a lot of work. first off you don't need to pull the tranny. i assume you have an automatic.
1. if you take off the starter and the plastic splash shield on the tranny you can remove the torque convertor bolts.
2. unhook all the crap from the motor thats conected to anything. fuel lines, wiring harness, hoses, exhaust.
3. remove hood
4. position engine hoist and hook up chain to a good lift point. remove engine mounts.
5. put floor jack under tranny to suport it.
6. remove engine to tranny bolts and it should lift straight out.
if your cars a standard the procedure is a little different.
