I'm pulling the engine out of my 2000 Disco because of a cracked block, I have a new engine almost ready to go. When pulling the engine can it be pulled leaving the transmission in the car or must both be pulled? On every other vehicle I have been able to pull just the engine but I thought I'ld ask earlier. Any advise to tricks on pulling the engine anyone can share with me would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Engine comes out without the transmission. Having done this I can't see that I could both get enough rise, or angle, to get them out together. As it was I removed the front tires to give me a little bit extra clearance on the crane. Maybe someone else else here got them out together, But I simply could not given my equipment.

 

When the engine was pulled on my 2000, the tranny remained in the vehicle. So your answer is a resounding yes!

Good luck!!!

 

dont forget to disconnect the torque converter it stays in the trans

 

Transmission stays in the truck. Remove the upper intake manifold, take out the engine mounts, drop the engine down to unbolt the upper transmission bolts.
