2003 Ion 2.2 ecotec removal
I have a 2003 saturn ion with a 2.2 and a manual transmission. The engine is shot and I want to replace it. I read a haynes repair manual and it says that the engine and transmission have to be pulled out together. It also says that they have to be pulled out under the car not through the top. I was wondering if there is any way to pull the engine out through top by itself or do I have to pull it out the bottom. How difficult is it to swap it out and is there any thing special I need to know before attempting this.
Thanks Ryan

What do you mean by a lot more work? Do you know how long the shaft is from the transmission to the engine?

It's designed to come out the bottom. So I can see alot more work to take it out from the top. Thats what I mean by alot more work, you know more items to remove or move out of the way.
