lower the engine a bit, twist the transmission, so the differential comes up, and remove.

Re: Is it posable
I have never had any real luck removing the trans without the engine.
I know it can be done though. The bentley says to pivot towards the firewall with the trans so the drive flanges will clear.

It's not how fast you go. It's how well you go fast.

Re: Is it posable
just remove the whole pack, me and matt can have an engine/trans out of a mk2 in 25-30 minutes. mk2s are super easy as the whole front comes off. that way with everything out, you have much more access to everything and able to inspect everything more thoroughly!
