so i do h ave tot remove that crossmember underneith? t he tranny is unbolted just wont come out

[DaveFromColorado]

I've seen people get 'em out without pullin' the whole cradle from under the car, not sure how that happens - I've pulled a few of 'em myself and I always tend to use that method (supporting the engine and droppin' the cradle)

save time "DROP THE CRADLE". Easy for me on my 89 gp it's alredy on the ground. The cradle washer's pulled throught the subframe.
