....Is it really an 'all day job' like my local Ford Dealer told me?

What is all involved in this? Curious.

Thanks.

On your back....a tough all day job. On a lift....disconnect battery, undo exhaust, drop it out of the way, un bolt engine mounts and tranny mount. Support and lift engine/tranny combo. You should be able to get to all pan bolts, drop and remove from front. You may have to unbolt and lower K member (support) , I have done jobs both ways, dropping K member is easiest way.

That was the last thing to get replaced on my fox before it went to body work. A friend and I did it on a lift and it took about 3 hours to complete, we used all air tools and transmission lifts, etc... All day no, 3 hours and about 20beers with 2 people yes.

My thing is that I didn't have the equipment or tools to do it myself, so I had to bite it and have the shop do it. Several hundred dollars, but it was worth it. It's a 1990 25th Anniversary convertible with 90,000 miles that is still in great shape body-wise, really just needs a good buff/wax job and it will look like a new car. It never saw a winter until 2008. New top a few years ago, new exhaust last year. Great car.

Thanks for the responses.

Nice looking car, with the age and miles I would suggest changing the rear main seal and other lower gaskets and seals while the car is lifted and apart, also gives a chance to inspect the clutch.
