I have an 1980 luv 4x4 that my 4 speed tranny locked up in and need to know the easiest way to pull it out to put my new one in. I'm have a problem with not having the room

On the 4X4 the best way is to pull the engine. Not sure what is the easiest way to do it, pull the engine then the trans or pull them as a unit.

The oil pan hits the core support when you pull the engine. Go ahead and remove the front wheels and get the front as low as possible before you pick up on the motor.

Ok I finally got the transmission replaced but now my truck isn't running right it will start up and idle just fine but when you give it a little gas it falls on its face but if you push the gas to the floor it comes back alive and the motor shutters going down the road

are you sure you got all of the vacuum and vapor lines hooked up right? sounds like you may have a big vacuum leak
