TRS - engine R & R help....
I pulled my engines out this past winter without pulling my drives. This went quick and easy. The question I have though is what about putting the engines back in. The drive shafts kind of do the weeble wable thing and I am not sure how you keep the alignment when lowering and moving the engines/trans back to place.
The last time I did this (years ago) I had pulled the drives before pulling the engines. I could still pull them and reinstall them however I'm looking for an easier way out . I can't see any way to hold the shafts in place during or when getting close to engine placement.
Thanks for any help.

On my TG, I never remove the drives when swapping motors.
When you're lowering the motor in, just feed the input shaft into the trans and have someone tun the prop slowly. Usually less than a turn of the prop and the shaft engages into the spline. I've never had even the slightest issue.

that might work. sounds like a job for the b-i-otch. maybe she can hadle that job better than putting fuel in the caddy today. did i forget to mention diesel fuel into a gasoline engine. Ya, that was a nice phone call late this afternoon right after i backed over my sons ATV with my Ram 3/4 ton.
i felt like throwing myself in the outdoor wood boiler and calling it a day.

Not to Hi-jack this thread, but the bearing that you are talking about is it serviceable without pulling the tranny? I thought I heard people replacing the gimble bearing on a TRS boat, this must be the bearing they are replacing???
I thought I read where you have to cut something out to access this.
