2004 Hyundai Elantra Fishing for my transmission

Hello .. thanks for the donation .. much appreciated

The transmission is not designed to come out through the top of the vehicle .. you really need to remove it from underneath by removing the subframe assembly ? because of the clutch and flywheel you will not have the room to remove from the top !!

Hope this helps

Thank you for the feedback. You really need to reply in this box if you need further assistance. When someone say's they are fishing. This tells me they are using something to pull something out of the sea from above. I have never seen anybody fishing from below the sea?
