taking off the hood makes it easier. i know with chevy longblocks it makes it lots easier to take out the engine if you take the tranny off. so it doesn't hang all funny because of the extra weight of the trans. i think you should be able to leave the trans on pretty easily though on a honda.

Like everyone else said, short answer is yes. Pull the hood, pull the axles and just be prepared to wiggle it a little bit.

Done that without the tranny on it. I really need to buy a hoist.

hook the lift to the tranny and motor and pop out the axles and it should come right out
