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.

Remove the starter first.
Remove the muffler You can support the engine by extending wire from the rear trans mounts down and around the hear exchangers. The driveshafts can be left to rest on the heat exchangers. If you remove the driveshafts ( which will ease trans removal) with the stubaxle attached do not roll the car. If you must roll the car seperate the stubaxles and reinstall in the hubs and tighten the 32mm (?) nut. |
