Hi guys. First thanks for everyone’s previous help and tips on my other posts. Well here’s my latest project I need some advice on. 2005 Civic VP D17A1 5 spd manual transmission I have the all dreaded rod knock thanks to my lovely gf and her selective hearing. Is it possible to remove both engine and transmission from the top utilizing an a-frame and chain hoist or does it have to come out from below? Will be going back with same engine.

If you're removing both at the same time they will easily come out the top.

Thanx, yeah they are both coming out as the clutch is beginning to feel a little suspect and with 250k miles on it and with engine out I figure now is as good a time as any.

I took engine/tranny out as an assembly in my 2002. In my dad's garage with a cherry picker from harbor freight. Put it in as an assembly the same way it came out.

Cool, y’all are making my day. I was a little concerned that I was gonna have to figure out how to get it up high enough to drop it out from below, my buddy has an engine stand, a-frame hoist, and floor space for me to use but no lift.

I’ll be sure to post pics and updates as it progresses, most likely to get started next weekend as there are other projects to finish up so that I can devote my time to getting this done as quickly but, properly, as possible. This will be my most ambitious project to date.

You just mean like a two post car lift, right? Not a big deal. As long as you have an engine hoist or cherry picker you can use to lift it out the top you're good to go.
