My '74 2.0 leaks transaxle gear oil, so I want to pull the transmission (JUST THE TRANSMISSION) and redo all the seals. Having a very small garage, I must remove the tranny in my driveway, then put the car back in the garage while I do the seals at my leisure. Question: can I push the car back into the garage with dangling axles; what do I do with them, support them somehow? Also, is there a way to support the weight of the engine while I roll the car back into the garage? Trying to avoid leaving the car out in the elements while I do this job, as I have never done seals before and don't know how long its going to take me if I run into problems. Need advice badly. Thanks.

I don't think you will have to add any additional engine support since the lower crossbar will still be attached to the engine and the car.

I don't think you will have to add any additional engine support since the lower crossbar will still be attached to the engine and the car. The crossbar supports the front of the motor the trans supports the rear, so you have to somehow suspend the flywheel end of the motor before you can move the car around. If you just let it hang by the front motor mounts the weight of the motor will break them. |
