I seperated my CV's with a flat screwdriver. You have to twist the shift rod around and it will slide out. Don't have a clutch pulley.

i count 3! 1) BFH (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) tap on it while you rotate the CV and it'll come lose ... 2) you need to disconnect it in the front, near the firewall. there's a allenhead set-screw in the coupler that holds the shiftrod. unscrew & slide out ...

1. There is a pin that mates up with holes in the flange on the tranny. Take a flat blade screwdriver and carefully pry the C/V off the flange.

1. I have used a putty knife to wedge between the cvjoint to seperate it from the tranny. You'll need new gaskets.
2. I remove the engine and tranny both at the same time as one unit. The shift rod should come off before you try to get the engine/tranny out. (you should get a Haynes manual or doundload the engine removal procedure from PP. 3. Sorry, I don't have a spare cable but they are available from all the usual sources. (Don't go to a FLAPS for it). Cheers, Elliot |

I used a big rubber mallet on the cv joints, tap and turn, a 4mm allen key will remove the cone head screw on the shifter rod near the firewall. When you get new cv joint gaskets store them away from your other parts, they are brittle and will crumble (know from experience, unfortunately)

Way to go Kid!
The pully is available from any Wire and Rope dist. Standard size.If you can't find a wire rope place , sailboat parts will work. Also steering pullys from an outboard moter steering system will work. Do I detect a marine theme here? Keep pounding em. JT |
