It comes out very, very easily. You need a 4X4 post that you lay across the
cab from door to door through the open windows. Then you need a come-along,
a short piece of chain, and for putting it back in, a floor jack. It is
truly a one man job with these tools, and with two guys, the floorjack is
not a necessity, but is certainly nice-to-have!. The transfer case is
separate, and does not have to come out, as it is hooked up via a jackshaft
about 12 inches long. You don't even have to jack the truck up. There is
plenty of room underneath, and the lions share of the work can be done form
the cab through the floor.
While you have it out, consider replacing the throw-out bearing and the
clutch plate if necessary.

Subject: [MV] Question About M35A2 Transmission Replacement...
Hello list...
The transmission in my M35A2 has a really loud 5th gear.
I am considering replacing the whole transmission with a take-out
rebuilt or takeout unused transmission can be had for $450 plus
shipping.
My questions to this esteemed list of the world's most knowledgeable
experts are as follows:
1.) Does the transmission come out fairly easily (do you
have to pull the engine or do anything special)?
2.) If I do pull the tranny and replace it, is there
anything I should know ahead of time from those
of you with experience?
3.) Is there a better way to deal with the loud 5th
gear noise (other than sawdust or earplugs)?
Thank you!
