However, there might be *some* very specific situations where removing the engine and transmission together as a unit might be easier or necessary. This could include:
* Severe damage to the bellhousing: If the bellhousing (where the transmission connects to the engine) is severely cracked or damaged, it might be easier to remove the entire assembly.
* Certain major engine repairs: Some very extensive engine repairs might make accessing certain components easier with the transmission removed, though this is rare.
* Mechanic preference: A mechanic might simply prefer this method based on their experience and tools.
For most common transmission or clutch repairs on a 2000 Cavalier 2.2L, separating the transmission is the standard procedure, not removing the whole engine.
