CH465 tranny removal

[leegrady]

Yes, you'll want to support the engine so that there is no interference anywhere. Specifically, the fan to shroud, and your distributor to firewall. I usually support the engine with a bottle jack and some wood block to the sump of the oil pan. Or an engine hoist, or a 4x4 across the engine compartment and some chain.

The bell housing is no problem to remove.

Yes, the shifter will just come right out. The attachment is spring loaded, and I use a big straight shot pry bar or big screw driver to depress the coupler, and remove the snap ring that holds the shifter with a smaller screwdriver to your top loader. Upon instillation if you run into trouble make sure all the shift rods are bunched together. That would be neutral. Inspect the ball at the end of the stick shift for ware and or damage.

Do yourself a favor and buy a complete clutch.
