I'd go out the top, done it a bunch of times. I wouldn't pull it with the trans though. The engine comes out nice and level without the trans. Once you have it ready to pull, the T5 is only 4 more bolts, and T5s are light.
It's way easier to install the trans with the clutch hydraulics hooked up too since the clutch alignment tools never get it perfect. Get trans up and to get it to slide the last 1/2", have someone push the clutch pedal. Done. |
