OK..I have a 1994 Dodge Caravan with a 3.0 Litre engine and it has
the 3 speed automatic transmission. Recently the transmission went up
and I have been scouting around for a good junkyard transmission for it
and found the one I want two weeks ago. I`m going to remove it Saturday or Sunday and wanted some last minute pointers on removing this thing in the junkyard. Obviously all the repair manuals assume you are in a garage or shop. Any advice about removing this thing in the yard with hand tools and just the jacks and discarded tires I will find there? Since
it`s a junker I don`t have to be to careful about damaging unrelated
stuff taking it off so I can clear a path to the transmission. My
biggest concern is the final disconnect of the tranny from the engine
and the weight/shifting. Anyone have experience with this exact transmission or a similar type? Thanks

 

the easiest way to get it out would be to cut all the wires above the trans out, cut the cooler lines, if you can find a tire without a rim put it under the trans when you drop it out so nothing breaks. bring a pry bar, bfh, and sawzall if you have one to make more room to get it out easier
