OK My 74 2.0 (ole Rusty) died a few weeks ago and I bought a parts car for the engine. Did the swap and the new (to me) 2.0 runs great! However the clutch/tranny does not work so great. So this weekend I am going to swap trannys and clutch with the one I took out of ole Rusty. Now I have done lots of 911 clutches and have always dropped the engine and tranny together, but I was looking on Pelican for a tech article on changing the clutch out and it say to just drop the tranny. So which way would you go? Drop it all or just the tranny? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Doesn't really matter.
I would do just transaxle because that's my mood today. Just put a jack stand under the engine to support. |

It's easy to do the tranny, and not too bad if you have to remove the flywheel.

For just changing the tranny/clutch I would not drop the engine too. Lower the tail
down so you have enough room to pull the tranny and support the engine in that position and pull the trans. |
