Agnieszka juz tutaj wiecej nie mieszka

... which means roughly:

Agnas doesn't live here anymore


Anyway, fun song that was stuck in my head while I was removing the engine.

Crane won't reach from the front.  I was getting ready to remove the bumper then thought it may be worth a check from the side.

That was the ticket.  



The tranny is 16.5 inches high.  I only had 12 inches of clearance under the car so I decided to drag it out through the top using 2 straps to control the angle.  This was not a good move.  I didn't manage to keep the pan under the end the whole way so I lost about a cup of tranny fluid on the driveway.  I think the right move would have been to use the crane to lift the car by the frame rails.  Then slide the tranny out.  I was surprised how light it is.  It's barely heavier than the Lotus transaxle but handles more than 3 times the torque.  Probably because the Lotus trans also has the differential in it.

Golly, I think I am almost done (JK).

I am surprised how much room Agnas had in there.
