So ive bought all the parts to manual swap my E46, the manual transmission is easily liftable but im not sure how to move the heavier automatic transmission (zf5hp19) onto a car trunk for disposal. for those with some experience in this regard, will I need hulk strength or is it possible to lift it?
Get a good hand hold on the top of the bellhousing, other hand on the output shaft flange, good deadlift form, straight back, lift with your legs… aaand the output shaft rotates suddenly so you drop it on the concrete floor.
