I have a 92 300E and I'm wanting to know if it's possible for me to remove and replace my transmission (automatic).

I do not have a lift, so I'm curious if I can drive the car upon my ramps and physically remove the transmission without giving myself a hernia, etc. I'm in my 50's, so I'm not a muscle bound teenager, but I am in pretty good shape for my age and I would like to try and rebuild the tranny myself with the help of a very knowledgeable tranny friend - we're just not sure we can get the beast out and back in.

Any of you guys pulled one in you garage, and if so, how difficult was it?

Also, anyone out there ever rebuild an air pump? It sounds like the bearings are going.

thanks
