What makes trans so hard to pull?
I've read that pulling the trans on a 4x4 truck is a real pain, hard job. Wondering how come? Thinking about buying a local 92 F-150 - say it has trans trouble, have yet to figure out what he means by that - ANYWAY..... I've had trannies out of other rear wheel drive vehicles but never a 4x4. Just hoping for some idea of waht to expect to get into to pull the trans. Thanks

that's what I figured - front and rear drive shaft, then pull t-case from trans, then trans from engine. I have never pulled a t/case from a trans - how are the drive shafts conected? And can the t-case get really frozen to the trans making it hard to get loose?
I had heard you have to gut the interior - well, remove the seat(s) and carpet/mat because there is some sort of steel plate on the floor that has to come loose - any truth to this?
Thanks again all

married or divorced - sorry, I feel like I should know what that means. Integral with the trans or separate entity?

Just had the fun of doing this recently myself...
You do have to pull up the carpet/floor mat to get to some of the bolts.
The transfer case on a 92 is not that heavy, the transmission is.
An extra body is very helpful.
A transmission jack is worth its weight in gold.
Read the manual. When it says "remove exhaust system", believe it. Even though it doesn't look like its in the way.
Take your time and be methodical.
It's not that difficult, but it's not exactly what I'd call fun either.
Good Luck
