Got the beast out. That is a tight fit.

The ICE motor had to be pried out of the way to make room. How I will get the new one in is a mystery. I may hoist it in from below with a chain hoist mounted above. The ability to swing and rock would be a big help in getting it in.

Now that it's out I'm not getting the cogging. I can spin the CV joints which spins the input shaft. I think it means that the mg2 is ceased because the cogging was the ICE being rotated by the wheels while the car was in neutral. I imagine if it was not ceased it would rotate freely so the Ice would be unmoved by wheel rotation in neutral. . Just a guess. Would also explain the lurch when I tried to start the car. It would immediately stop and flash all the warning lights.
