My 2008 Escape (3.0L V6 paired with the awful CD4E, 4WD XLT) has been essentially non-driveable for the last 2 years or so thanks to the torque converter going. Not wanting to shell out $4k to have the transmission rebuilt, it's been sitting since I got the bad news. I really don't want to have it sitting, broken and unusable, in my garage for another 2 years, so would like to figure out how the hell to get the transmission out. Got the Ford service doc on it, and it appears to be some convoluted near-complete disassembly of the entire drivetrain (after removing the entire exhaust system of course), and I mean, there has Got to be a better way!

Any help genuinely appreciated, this money pit needs to be fixed!
