I have removed an engine without the transmission and transfer case by adding a temporary crossmember under the transmission. I used a piece of angle iron chained across the frame to support the weight of the transmission. This was on a Chevy with a 4sp trans. You probably should consult a repair manual for your particular auto to be sure.
Remove all wires attached to the transfer case. Remove the driveshafts. Drain the fluid out of the transfer case. Place a transmission jack under the transfer case. Unbolt the transfer case from the transmission. Unbolt the crossmember the transfer case rests on.
Well the engine doesn't bolt to the transfer case. The engine bolts to the transmission and the transfer case is bolted to the opposit end of the transmission. So, the engine swap should be a simple remove and reinstall operation. Good luck
Yes you will have to remove the transfur case first.
The transfer case is bolted to the rear of the transmission Engine / transmission / transfer case ( front to rear ) on 4x4

I dont know about changing the clutch, but I can tell you that they are adjustable! I just had mine adjusted! I pulled the engine, had no vehicle hoist so lifted the engine out. Worked real well as all the clutch parts are in front of you while engine is in the air; except throughout bearing.

NO. If you keep finding yourself ADDING transmission fluid often and you have no leaks but the transfer case is over full then you need to remove the transfer case and replace the seal in the transfer case where it bolts to the rear of the transmission.
