Engine/Transmission Removal

By Brian | December 27, 2007

I removed the engine and transmission on December 26th. I started removing the hood at 5 PMand had the engine and transmission assembly sitting on the floor at 1 AM. It went relatively well, and almost seemed easier than the times I removed the 4cylinder motor from my Talon. The only problem I had was that I smashed my master cylinder reservoir to the side. Thereservoir may be ok since it is plastic, but it is still pushed to the side a bit. So if you know of anyone who wants a running 3 liter V6 DOHC Mitsubishi motor, shoot me an email.

I’ve added a few pictures of the progress during the removal.
