car is a 2001 clk 55

transmission is junk

docs I read say drop entire assy via K-member

Issue is with the constraints we are working with we cannot get the necessary height to go that route.

would the following plan work?

-remove trans mounts/cross member

-loosen bell housing bolts

-remove top bolts for engine mounts but do not remove

-raise engine with axis point being in the very front

-remove bellhousing bolts and take trans by itself out through bottom




Next, in regards to the spline alignment during merge procedure proves to be too difficult with engine in car; can the engine by itself be massaged out through the top?

Thanks in advance!
