No. The engine/transmission/suspension have to lowered under the vehicle on the engine/transmission/suspension cradle in order to remove the engine. Tester ---

The procedure I found seems to say to remove the sub-frame first, then lower the engine/transmission ass’y as a unit. ---

The procedure I found assumes a vehicle hoist is used. I don’t know how that job is done w/out one. Not saying it can’t be done sans hoist, just don’t know what the method would be. You might be able to find a diy’er who’s posted a way to do it by googling, maybe a u-tube vdo or something. ---

Maybe if you tell why you want to do this some of the excellent mechanics here might have a alternative plan. ---

If you’re trying to do a transmission swap? Find someone who knows how to weld. Tester ---

Position the jack stands behind the sub frame, not under it. > [@Quinn\_Desilets](#): > > I’m trying to do a transmission swap. You don’t have to remove the engine to replace the transmission. An engine support is used to support the engine/transaxle assembly in the car. Attach the engine support, remove the sub frame leaving the engine/transaxle in the car then remove the transaxle from the engine. The labor time for this is 5.1 hours, you might consider having a transmission shop do this for you.
