Re: Replacing Oil Pan Gasket

No tricks but it is a tedious job. Problem is getting adequate clearance to remove the oil pan due to the engine/tranny subframe in the way. You'll have to remove the dog bone engine mounts and the tranny mount. Then raise the engine and transmission up with lifting equipment or loosen the subframe and drop it down some.
