I have been watching videos on you tube about replacing the throw out bearing on an 89 YJ with an AX15 transmission. The videos always show the replacement being done by removing the transmission/transfer case drive shafts, skid plate, shifter, etc. And, during the videos, the mechanic's complain about the job and also highly recommend having to have a transmission jack to remove the transmission.
My question is this: "since it seems to be a real pain doing all that, wouldn't it be easier to pull the engine (which is easier to remove overhead, than doing everything under the Jeep"? I don't have a transmission jack, but would go buy one if you all agree that it would be easier pulling the transmission.
I would sure welcome some opinions on this. Thank you
