As someone who just removed a FWD GM transmission out of a straight six Volvo with two turbos and two transfer cases...I know that feel.

Why would you need to remove it, it looks like there’s plenty of room.

And I’m not trying to be a smart ass.

The GM techs, the Haynes manual, etc. say it has to be removed. Clearly it doesn’t, but a LOT of stuff has to be removed to get to this point. This thing makes the timing belt/water pump on a 944 look like an oil change.

The Cloyes kit comes with new rollers, guides and tensioners.

Oh I don’t doubt a lot of crap has to be removed, but I just don’t see it being worth that extra effort.
