4v swap

Has Anyone ever dropped the trans on a 99+ mustang with longtubes ? I need to check out my clutch but I don't want to pull out the engine ... from the looks of it I might have too the headers seem like they are going to get in the way

Depends on the headers...with Kooks, you can get away without removing the headers. You can't do that with BBK or MAC, the passenger side header has to at least be pulled with those.

Yep, you have to get the headers loose to remove the trans.

Drop the k member, see if that's easier. Lol

Pulling the motor for what, the fourth time?

Get that car fixed! I found berto/baltas Mach swap car, nick ran him and beat him. So you need to step in and drag some ass.

Kooks and Hooker headers you can with out pulling the header but bbk and mac you have to loosen the passenger side.

I've pulled the trans out of a 04 2 valve and a 97 4 valve without pulling the headers. They both had bbk. I loosed the motor mount nuts and let the trans and motor drop down a little, used a comalong (however you spell it) on each header at the collector, attached the other ends to the ramps on the lift and spread them apart as far as possible. It's still a challenge getting it out and back in but easier than pulling a header loose or off in my opinion. Also having the lift helped.

Do you have a stock Kmember or tubular K?

What transmission? If It's a T5 or Tremec the trans can be pulled but if It's a T45, T56 or newer model car Tremec the bellhousing is integral and the header has to come off.

3650

That sucks, have fun been there done that except all i had to remove was a collector.

It's still the stock k member , I'll probably end up pulling the engine out And yeah it's a 3650 Transmission
