Engine and trans is now out on the black car. On Youtube, there is an excellent 3 part series on removing the engine on a channel called Roaring Tigers Garage. They did it on a 2001 S, only a couple of things different on our 2002 (no return fuel line and return power steering line was routed differently). I suggest unbolting the bracket that holds the shift cables to the transmission as it was very tight squeezing the right side axle past it. The exhaust bolts were really rusted on so we dropped it with the exhaust bolted on. Much easier to grind off the bolts once it's out. You can unbolt the two cross members and leave them dangling and they will lower out with the transmission.
The donor car is sitting nose down on my sloped driveway and has exhibited a trans leak will have to see what has happened when it gets on the lift. May have to use my transaxle.
More details to come!
