I would greatly appreciate any inputs on removing transmission....

 

Remove the doghouse and with the access it gives makes a Dodge van one of the easiest transmissions in the world to Change. Wide open access to all of the Bell housing bolts

 

Yea...I haven't done the job but have been told the same thing. It does look like the easiest transmission remove ever.

 

really easy as transmissions go... I've had mine out a number of times... you can get to all the upper bolts and crank sensor from the top. you're good to go... assuming you know the ins and outs of removing an auto transmission in general...?
