[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 433948, member: 18789"] Hard to say which is “easier”. Engine might be a bit less stressful getting it all back together, but to me no doubt will take longer. I can do a clutch in a day by myself using a transmission jack. I buy long bolts that go into the engine bolt pattern at 3:00 and 9:00 and I chop the heads off. Those are my makeshift alignment dowels. Then all I have to do is get the trans up there and slide it right on. An engine to me would take a lot longer as you have a lot of things to disconnect, fluids to drain, etc before you can pull it. Plus with the engine swinging around on the lift I don’t know that it would really be all that easy to roll into place back onto the transmission shaft. So for me, I do it the transmission way.
