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! |

I just pulled the tranny while leaving the engine in the car for the first time last night.
One trick I learned:After removing the bolts. Use a large chisel or drift pin and tap on the cv on the tranny end to drive the CV away from the tranny. Some CVs even have a ridge that seems like it was made for that. Just taps, no gorilla and no prying. They popped off nicely and I immediately put the ends in ziploc bags and tie wire them up to the coilover springs to a ziptie. It gets them out of the way. |
