I recently purchased a 1969 Daimler Sovereign sedan, auto transmission
I would like to remove motor and gearbox for repairs
Can some one advise me the weight of both please
My Leyland manual doesnt have it and have been unable to find details with "Mr Google"

Welcome to the Forums.
Never weighed one ever.
All mine came out, S2 6cyl and V12, with my crane using the longest reach point of the beam, and memory?? has me at 550KG for that setting.
Nothing broke or fell to earth, so I hope that helps a tad.
The members in the 420/MK X Tech section may have more accurate numbers.
Good luck.

I've removed and replaced quite a few in my time and weight was the least of my worries. Lift height and clearance beneath the vehicle were the greater concern as the combined units need to come out at a steep angle. However, my Google search suggests around 890 lbs for the engine and transmission together.
