Pulling 833 4spd tonight , any tips?

I'm helping a friend pull a 833 out of his 72 Dart tonight any tips?? I've never pulled a manual before,just the auto.

It's a lot easier. Drive shaft, crossmember, linkage, speedo cable and four bolts holding the tranny to the bell housing. After removing the driveshaft tie wrap a sandwich bag over the trans tailshaft housing to keep from losing the lobe

Thank you!!

If you have a spare slip yoke that works best. Also if it is a small block take the dist cap loose so when the engine hangs down it doesn't break it against the firewall. Ask me how I know.....

That and make sure you both ate your Cheerios.I usually leave my floor jack under the trans till its all loose.I also put another one under my oil pan with a block of wood between it.Then I get my sons to help me get it in and out.I used to just set it on my chest and do it.But Im getting old and need help now.Rocky

get a pair of long bolts the same dia as your (4) trans to bell bolts, cut the heads off, cut a screwdriver slot in one end (of each one) then take out the 2 top bolts and replace them w your new ones then remove the bottom bolts and the trans will slide back/out wo damaging the clutch wo you having to muscle it near as much to hold it up till it clears.

Yep, and take the fan blade off the front of the engine. You will have to tip the end of the trans down which could drive your fan blades into the radiator if they are close. I usually remove the shroud, blade and clutch. I use threaded rod with a couple of nuts out on the end so I can have a stop for the trans to hit. I double nut them to install the rods.
