Hello all, I hope you are doing well.
I had a question regarding dropping the engine. I have a 1972 914-4 1.7L. Is it possible to separate the engine from the trans before dropping it so that I don't have to drop the trans as well? I looked at the article on the pelican forums and it only shows the procedure dropping the engine in tandem with the trans. Some Google searching yielded no good results either... and I'd rather not mess with the CV joints. Thanks in advance for the help! |

Although it may be possible, it will add so much additional work there is no way it is worth it.
The engine has to move back away from the front of the engine compartment because of the cables and yet it would have to move forward away from the trans to separate them. Jim |
