Hi, I've skimmed the past few months of posts, and googled this, but can't find a specific answer. (Also posted in alt.isuzu.auto, crossposted to rec.autos.misc and rec.autos.tech) I am replacing an engine with bad cylinder in my 1987 Trooper. Everything else on this car (tranny, tires, brakes, etc) is good-to-almost-new. So I want to keep the vehicle, for sure. I have a line on a rebuilt engine, i think it's a good deal. Do I HAVE to pull the tranny to pull the motor? My Chilton's says so, but there have been a few times that there have been easier ways to do things than the way Chilton's directs. Pulling the tranny would be a huge P.I.T.A., and more work than I planned on doing. (Due to finances etc. doing the pull/install myself.) thanks for any advice/insight, k wallace
