Removal of A833 from 1970 Duster- Z bar removal.

Hi Everyone,

I have recently spun a bearing in my 416 stroker and have decided that while I am pulling the motor I will remove the A833 from the car at the same to fix a few slow leaks that kinda bother me and I will detail the transmission at the same time for those originality dorks like me.

I have found plenty of good information on this site about the shift rods and having to remove them to get the trans out, and the unbolting of the transmission support etc. I am not going to be rebuilding the transmission so I believe that I will not need to adjust any of the linkages.

What I cannot find is a good thread with how to remove the Z bar from the car. Has anyone got a good step by step or some pictures? I would also accept any step by step instructions for an entire engine trans removal or an engine removal but I think I can piece that together myself.

I will be removing the engine and trans via the engine bay. I know that there is some debate about the bottom up vs top out but I am limited to top out based on knowledge, comfort with procedure and equipment.

Until 2019 I have only had e-bodies and all of them had automatic transmissions so I am really in uncharted waters for myself but I know that someone on here will be able to explain how easy this is.
