should I separate the engines from the trannies to remove them?should I lift them out or drop them through the bottom? Are there sensors on the manual transmission that need attention? (I am changing from auto to manual at the same time I change the engine) any advice I could get would be great. oh, and my donor car is a 95 s14 and the car I am fixing is a 96 thanks
