I pulled the motor and trans (bad A/T) as a unit from an '86 765T (10K on rebuilt).
I'm putting the motor in my 745T...(223K and sounds like a diesel)
? is, does the trans and motor HAVE to be removed as a unit, or is there an easier way?
TIA btw anyone know what "piston slap" noise really is?

    What fixit2002 said about piston slap. Not to be confused with the ticking sound you get under load from a leaking exhaust gasket.

    To remove the tranny or not first is kind of a personal preference sort of thing. Some do and some don't. Piston slap is sort of a clickity-clack sounds that you only hear when the engine is cold. Goes away shortly after warming up as the pistons heat up and expand a bit.

      Exactly. Mains thing about leaving the transmission in place are that

      o You need long extensions to get to the upper bolts.
      o You need to support the transmission while engine is out.
      o You should have a friend with you while you line engine and transmission.

      Other than what I mentioned, it is not hard. Main benefit about leaving transmission in place is that you do not have to tilt the assembly to get it out of the car.
