RW> Yeup. There's a tool that rests on the inner fender wells of FWD cars   
   RW> that   
   RW> they use to 'hang' the engine while they remove that subframe. Once   
   RW> that's   
   RW> out of the way, they can R&R the transaxle, put in a new clutch, change   
   RW> the pan gasket and several other things that you couldn't do in your   
   RW> garage.   
      
   I figured there was some trick to it.     
      
   I really wanted to watch the transmission shop remove the tranmission from my   
   car when they did the rebuild.  I am just really curious to how they got it   
   out and back in.  I do know they removed the subframe to do it.   
      
   RW> They also use that fender hanging tool to do axle swaps...   
      
   You can replace the CV axles on my car without doing that, fortunately.     
      
   RW> Does your helmet have vents to allow for air flow into and out of the   
   RW> helmet? Mine do...I especially like the open face helmet for that kind of   
   RW> riding.   
      
   Nope, but I have an open face helmet.  On really hot days, the top of my head   
   starts cooking.  When it is that hot, it is better to take the car with the   
   A/C.   
      
   My car is in the shop right now (today).  They are looking for that oil leak   
   around the pan.  I believe they are going to redo the oil pan gasket.  All I   
   know so far is that the oil drain plug is cracked and they are replacing that   
   to start with.
