Re: Pulling engine and transmission together???

I used a number of setups. If the hoist is high enough pulling the trans with the motor is preferable. Especially for assembly to ensure proper clutch alignment. However, the whole project will go a lot smoother if you pull the nose. You can do that using the hoist. Lift it up and roll it forward. It helps to have the wheels off to clear the fenders. I used to do that single handedly.

On cars with three point motor mounts the powertrain can be dropped through the bottom of the car as a unit into a pit.

An overhead gantry crane will achieve the same result as will a forklift.
