I've tried every possible combination for a search for this and been unsuccessful.
I'm going to pull the engine on my 1937 Sport coupe. It is my understanding the transmission comes along with it.
Is there a way of removing the cane shifter before trying to slide the assembly out the front?

Thanks as always

6 bolts, top of case.

Personally, I remove the transmission before pulling the engine...leave the top on, block under engine, 4 bolts to bellhousing, 4 bolts to side tranny mounts, 1 bolt top ground strap, 1 bolt stabilizer, one speedo cable connection. 4 bolts at each end of driveshaft/U-joints - remove driveshaft. slide transmission back and out...I pull it up through the floor. Can drop it down if you are up on a lift...

Everybody agree?

Thanks,

removed trans before i removed motor on mine.

trans was on it when i put motor back in. top of trans was covered with cardboard bolted down to keep dirt out. then top of trans back on when motor was in.

HAHAHAHAHA! @#$%^&*(!!!

"Just pull out the floorboards."

No problem. HAHAHAHA How bad could that task be?
Patience HELL, I'm ready to burn the boards out.

Sorry I just had to vent.

??? go ahead, take a sawzall to it, its about $3 worth of plywood that you can easily replace.

I sacrificed the slotted machine screws instead. I lopped off their heads with my trusty die grinder and had a bucket of water and a towel standing by for the fire that never happened.
