they can get damaged, fortunately they are cheap and easy to replace. Even with motor installed you can replace them by just removing the coolant res. But the car simply will not start if it's broken.

But yea, both methods suck to some extent. I pulled both mine together, and I had to rent a trans jack to mate them back, the trans on these cars is a heavy SOB and aligning them was impossible without it.

Confirming that you can remove the motor+DPs while leaving trans in car? - SUV 2015-08-17 00:05:01 (301 views)
- no , stfa! - lemieux@curbside 2015-08-18 04:13:46 (167 views)
  - Thanks, yes, I've figured it out. Downpipes coming off. - SUV 2015-08-18 15:06:50 (150 views)
    - do yourself a huge favor, yank ALL of them in one piece ! - lemieux@curbside 2015-08-19 06:49:09 (189 views)
- Make sure you have the ground strap for the alternator off. I've seen that get missed before. - PKmode 2015-08-17 13:35:12 (227 views)
  - I'll double check. I thought I had this taken care of, but late in the process realized the cable - SUV 2015-08-17 14:00:53 (226 views)
- How far forward do you need to go before the motor is free of the input shaft? - SUV 2015-08-17 12:33:45 (173 views)
  - I think it is only about 3-4". - PKmode 2015-08-17 13:35:55 (188 views)
    - yeah, also put the trans in gear, will be easier to separate. - S4gasm (LotR) 2015-08-17 15:06:52 (205 views)
      - In gear, and I can see there's about a half inch separation from the bell housing. - SUV 2015-08-17 15:13:32 (177 views)
        
        yeah me thinks either CPS or input shaft needs some wiggling. It's a cunt to mate back together. - S4gasm (LotR) 2015-08-17 15:53:43 (183 views)
- you disco the DP mounts where they connect to the trans right? - S4gasm (LotR) 2015-08-17 10:32:25 (250 views)
  - Yup, we figured that out (eventually) ;)... they're free. - SUV 2015-08-17 12:27:42 (186 views)
    - you also removed the CPS right? Right hand side (facing car) - S4gasm (LotR) 2015-08-17 15:03:36 (168 views)
      - Where / what is this?   -  SUV  2015-08-17 15:12:48 (171 views)
        
        crank pos sensor, look under the coolant res, it bolts to outmost edge of bellhousing..   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2015-08-17 15:52:52 (293 views)

        It's already on the 'parts to buy list'. ;) Thanks again. Very helpful.   -  SUV  2015-08-20 22:54:03 (172 views)
        
        you bet. keep the old/spare one in the trunk. could you leave stranded someday!   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2015-08-17 16:23:31 (166 views)
        
        Hmmm. Got it out. Looks 'ok'. More to the point, the DPs are hung up / not enough clearance.  -  SUV  2015-08-17 20:29:19 (185 views)

        Ding ding ding. It's incredible. Could you imagine the conversations:  -  SUV  2015-08-17 22:16:29 (199 views)
        
        I'd say remove axles too, makes it much much easier.   -  Avantugofast  2015-08-17 20:32:35 (166 views)
        
        So we unbolted the bell housing on the car for no reason ;)   -  SUV  2015-08-17 20:38:55 (206 views)
        
        oh yeah forgot you did that. Even so it will make removing the trans easier ;)  -  Avantugofast  2015-08-17 20:45:27 (177 views)
        
        Didn't want to / Don't want to, so will try removing axle heat shields, unbolting DPs and see where  -  SUV  2015-08-17 20:57:29 (193 views)
        
        After doing it both ways now, I recommend pulling them both together regardless.It really is easier.   -  PKmode  2015-08-18 12:26:37 (154 views)
        
        ding ding   -  stew  2015-08-18 13:14:46 (143 views)
- You good, Vice Grips are the proper tool for those bolts anyway =) - zillarob 2015-08-17 00:40:37 (227 views)
  - Yeah, boooo to that design. We tried vice grips, not enough vice or grip. Went full channel lock. - SUV 2015-08-17 00:47:02 (191 views)
- I'd remove the DP's from the engine/turbos, will make it easier and pretty easy to do - Avantugofast 2015-08-17 00:28:45 (208 views)
  - Yes, heat shields are on as are all the 02s. - SUV 2015-08-17 00:48:15 (185 views)
    - Heat shields are a bit of a pain but much easier once they are gone. - Avantugofast 2015-08-17 00:56:13 (195 views)
