Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the engine without separating it from the transmission ?
I have the front bumper off and the radiator and the cross member and it almost looks like I would be able to remove the motor mounts, and separate the engine from the transmission and slide it 3 inches toward the passenger side and get it out, but I'd like some confirmation from either the book or an expert before I attempt to do that.
Thanks in advance for your responses !

I haven't tried it on this vehicle but generally you can do this if it won't just move it back and disconnect the transmission. Usually its easier if an automatic to unbolt the transmission and torque converter and just leave them in place. Just use a pry bar and move it back off the guide pins. If it has a clutch remove the transmission and remove to inspect the clutch pressure plate and throw out bearing. If it has a hydraulic clutch you have to re-bleed the slave cylinder.
http://www.amazon.com/ They have some kia manuals For vehicle you have to purchase an Asian edition. Remember to check used as I purchased Volume 1 and 2 for around $25.00
