A few transmission removal questions...
Hey all,
A friend of mine would like to rebuild the transmission on another friend of mine's 4Runner. His 4Runner is a '90, 4x4, auto, with the 3vz-e.
Now for the questions: The Haynes manual says to "remove the front driveaxles." Why do the drive axles need to be removed? Is there any way around this? Does the front diff need to be dropped to get to the transmission?
That's all the question I have.
Thanks for all the help.
Have fun all.

I typically left the front drive shaft attached to the transfer case, and removed it at the front diff. For the rear shaft, I disconnect it at the rear of the transmission and allow it to hang or just remove it all together.
Be careful that you dont allow the shaft to seperate at the "slip yoke" or if your gonna let it seperate that you mark the shaft so that the "phase" of the u-joints doesnt change or you will end up with a vibration.

Yes.
Quick list of things I can think of that require removal.
NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
1. Front Sway bar
2. Front Drive Shaft at Front Pinon Flange.
3. Rear Drive Shaft at Rear Transfer Case Flange.
4. Speedometer cable
5. Several Electrical Connectors and wiring fastened to trans housing
6. Fluid Lines (2)
7. Starter Mounting Bolts
8. Throttle Valve Control Cable (from throttle body to trans)
9. Torque Convertor to Flywheel bolts (6?)
10. Exhaust securing bracket
11. Bellhousing Bolts (6?)
12. Crossmember bolts (8)
With the vehicle on a hoist, I always left the crossmember attached to the transmission and just lowered the hole heaping thing down with a trans jack.
If I was to do it on the ground, perhaps Id use crossmember as a means to stablize the assembly from the sides of the vehicle.
