is removing auto trans possible with y-pipe in place?

The rear main seal and front pump seal are the big ones i can think of unless you feel adventurous then pull the fan shroud and pick the engine up the 6" it takes to change the oil pan gasket.

Bought one and have no idea how I got by without it all these years. Likely I was stronger and dumber 25 years ago. Fortunately for me my neighbor has a very large vertical tank compressor mounted in a shed between our garages. I can grab a hose and go to town whenever I need to. Best neighbor I've ever had, compressor or not. He loaned me the trans jack as well.

Glad to hear Even if you're strong enough to bust all bolts loose with a breaker bar, there's something to be said for working smarter and saving time.

do you have a part number for the reman starter you bought? oh and btw you should replace the rear main seal while you have the trans off.

quick search shows remy SR1100670A is for a 2.9l, you need to find a remy 25513.

That's not what I find in a search. I see 4.0 and my model listed as well as ranger, aerostar, and a couple Mazda models.

I have not read this discussion but had to post my first thought to the title.

"Sure! Just lift the body out of the way and it's a piece of cake.


No offence meant and I hope the OP solves his problem.
