did you have to remove the angle gear or just move it to get to the trans bolts. You show it still in place, how does the rear driveshaft come off? I'm trying to pull an engine from the junkyard, and that angle gear is in the way of everything.
You can leave the angle gear and transmission attached if you want, but I pulled it loose on this one if I remember correctly. The driveshaft is a major pain-I only unbolted the front, which is usually much easier than the rear.
@@americanvolvo Thanks. I got the rear shaft disconnected from the angle gear fairly easy, which is usually not the case on my fords, those bolts are usually on super tight, and the volvo came off easily. I ended up just pulling the trans and angle gear and engine together out the top, after which I could disconnect them all.
Honestly that’s how I do it. I have done one with engine, trans, and angle gear and pulled it out the top. Just go slow and I’d recommend using a load leveler.
Is there a reason you didn't pull the trans & angle gear all out with the engine at the same time?
Yes, I knew the transmission was not shifting well and the angle gear was also junk.

I need to pull the engine with the trans out. Is it going to be easier to pull it from the top?
