Is it possible to change it without pulling the transmission?you will definitely have to separate engine and trans (engine being the easiest to remove since your working with that part of vehicle)the trans is connected to the back of the crank. That's how the trans basically receives output from the engine to move the vehicleI have a rebu crank to install in a 98 3.8 V6. Is it possible to change it without pulling the transmission?No it is not possible. Attached to the transmission end is either a fly wheel or a flex-plate. There is no way to unfasten this component with the engine still bolted to the transmission.I have a rebu crank to install in a 98 3.8 V6.
