You 2 eh. My 91 2.2 engine siesed on me the other day, but then again i was driving with a busted connecting rod/crankshaft.

Now im left having to put in a used engine this weekend


As for your situation im not sure, but i think you can pull out the crank while still in there.

Not sure though

Yes. Remove the flywheel, and yank that puppy.

yes?? yes to what? it can be removed without the transmission coming off or the trans does have to come off?? i am pretty sure the only way to get the flywheel off is to remove the trans and undo a bolt??

Yes it will come out. I will see if I can scan you some photos/mechanical drawings of how it is done. As I recall you can get flywheel seperated from the torque converter without removing the tranny. You can then get a wrench in there to get the flywheel off.
