I am replacing the engine in my 95 del sol. Do I need to pull the engine and manual tranny as an assembly?

Usually that's the easiest way. Otherwise you have to jack up the transmission so it won't fall, and worry about aligning the tranny and engine... you'll have way less headaches if you remove both at the same time. That car has tons of room under the hood, so it is a very easy swap.

This will also give you a good chance to replace any seals that are leaking, change the tranny fluid, replace the throwout bearings, clutch plates, springs, inspect the CV boots and shafts, and whatever else you can think of. If this new engine is an upgrade, it might be a great time to put in a performance clutch, or replace the current one if it's anywhere close to going bad. I'd rather do it while the engine is out than have to do it later while it's back in the car.

Yes, absolutely. Both the engine and gearbox are removed as one unit where you can then split the engine from the gearbox. Hope this helps, Scotech

I want to know how to check auto trans fluid hot or cold engine running or cold.

usually you have to have the car hot and in neutral (parking brake on and wheels chucks is a must) then pull the dipstick for the tranny and always check more than once.

Will a 95 saturn 1.9 manual transmission bolt to a 98 saturn 1.9 automatic transmission?

This is the automotive equivalent of a ***-change operation. In short, dont do it...
The problem you have is not if the tranny will fit (which it won't as a direct bolt-in replacement), the problem is in everything else that needs to be moded. Your engines computer is not programed to recognize or work with a manual tranny. You would need to modify the console to accept a manual shifter, install a clutch and clutch pedal assembly, plumb the needed fluid systems, and replace the entire wiring harness in the engine bay. In short, if you are asking - this won't go well and even if it did work, the car would not be reliable. By the time you spend everything involved in this project, it would be much cheaper to buy a 95 or 98 Saturn with the transmission that you prefer.

My Del Sol is pulling hard to the right.

Rotate the tires front to rear, see if it solves the problem. Unless you bent something on the front end, it should cure the pulling.

check your wiring for dirty connections or broken wires, you may have wires that are rubbed through or connectors that are not making full contact. you will need an ohm meter and check wires for continuity. a wiring diagram will be needed.

Tranny prob Honda Del Sol

this is what a automatic trans does when it is failing, it will need to be torn down and inspected for worn and damaged parts, there are any number of things that cause this, leaking valve body, front pump O ring leaking, u will most likely need it rebuilt.
