As for "at this point" - which point is that?

I think it is best to remove and install the transmission and engine at the same time - together - the chances of damaging the transmission are smaller (in my opinion again).
The point im at being the engine is out of the car. I can either work on it 'as is' or put the engine on a stand (separating it from the trans).
