I got to the point where I have the box loose but don't have the clearance to remove it from the car with the engine in as its still hitting the engine mount. After doing a search on here and finding that's normal I have two questions.
Can I lift the motor with the transmission attached? The drive shaft is out so that's not a problem.
If I can't, am I a bad person if I just cut through the shaft?
I hate to do it to original parts, but I'm not planning on pulling the motor or tranny at this time and I'm planning to replace the steering setup with a rack, or at minimum a collapsible column. I now understand why people have mentioned getting speared by those in a crash....
