Cheap PriceList for 20191-T Swaged Hose Fiting to Ghana Factories

90°METRIC FEMALE MULTISEAL

I’ve done this video before. Not in HD, but this time I’m leaving you without an audio track to drown out what I’m doing. In previous videos I removed the transmission separately. Not this time. This is how you pick it out in one piece. No subtitles to read or block the view. Those of you looking for granular info about this video will find it here.

In order to remove a 4g63 AWD drivetrain, you’ll need to disconnect the following components… not necessarily in this order… and my car isn’t exactly stock, but this is what you’re after. Some things you can leave connected, especially if they’re stock, but I removed them for safety reasons and because I routed some modified items differently. The timeline is listed here for your convenience.

The crank pulley, transmission mount bracket, and reverse switch removal allows you more wiggle room without damaging either those parts or scratching up the chassis. The trans mount bracket loves to get caught on the passenger-side brake lines. The speed sensor is protected by the rear motor mount bracket, so you can leave it in place.

I replaced my AC compressor during the transmission replacement, but never charged the system. If you have working AC, un-bolt the compressor and hang it from a bolt on the firewall using heavy-gauge wire. That way you don’t have to evacuate the refrigerant and drive up the cost of repairing your car with an AC service, filter-drier and expansion tube. Don’t let it hang from the lines because they can leak or even break.
