Yeah... With the engine out, and the tranny still attached to the car... How should or CAN I tie her up so I can take the car to the spray booth?
Thizzanks! |
Your best bet will be just to pull out the tranny, It would be the best way and quick and simple. Disconnect tranny and driveshaft, the rear diff will be fine.
It will be easier to put the engine back in too , since you can just drop the engine and tranny back in together. |
just lay on the trailer and hold it up. Shouldn't be a problem for you.
aren't there tranny mounts? (never taken my Fd apart that far), if so, they should be sufficient to hold the tranny.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif |
what I did while my car sat for the winter was to... take a strong metal bar, wedge it between the bellhoushing and the subframe. Push down on the bar, the tranny rises up, then chain the bar to the sub chassis

I just connect my tranny brace to the tranny and it holds the tranny up :P
Or you could wedge a 2 X 4 or a 4 X 4 in there between the subframe and the bellhousing. |

Yeah the diff is quite heavy, and considering the bad reputation the stock bushings have, putting un needed stress on them is not a good idea. |
