Is this possible? Or is it just easier to remove the whole package? If possible, how is the engine supported without the tranny?
Thanks, BK |

It can be done. The engine can be supported by a floor jack or jack stand. There's a balance point on the rear center of the block. Loosen the front engine bolts so you can angle the engine down. Empty the transmission oil before taking it out.
IMHO, I like taking the whole thing out if you have the time. Its not that hard and is much easier to reinstall. |

Piece of cake! I just did it last weekend, and I'm no genius with a wrench. Follow the Pelican Parts clutch repair article regarding the tranny removal process:

For clutch and tranny work its done all the time.
Its pretty straight forward. I use a screw jack under the motor so I can adjust the angle of the motor. The jack goes under the rear of the motor just in front of the tranny. the front of the motor is held up by the existing engine mount. RIch |

I'd also loosen the motor mounts. The first time I did a clutch job like this, I further weakend an already old rubber mount and it broke within two weeks of the clutch job.

Thanks guys. I was looking at it and it looked pretty simple, but I've thought that before!

The only hard part, I found, was lining up the transmission to put it back onto the motor. While lifting it up. And getting the input shaft splines to line up with the clutch disk splines.
It's not that awful, but it does seem like you need three hands at times. Oh, and don't forget--that one starter bolt is removed from inside the engine bay! (You'll know that bolt when you get to it.) --DD |
