the service manual shows take the cylinders and everything off before you flip the motor over and split the cases, but it there any reason why you have to or can you just flip the motor over and split the cases with the cylinders attached since im only gonna be working on the transmission. this head cold i got is keeping me from thinking strait i dont see a reason why i couldn't do it but just wana check before i break something

Nope, the hole damn thing has to come apart to get the tranny out. There are 2 bolts inside the crankcase that you can only access by removing the cylinder block and letting the pistons hang there.

that would be why they show tearing every thing down, plus after looking at all the flaky carbon build up in the head and the dis-colored valves a tear down is in order anyways
