torxxx Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 It depends on what way your going to do it.. Are you going to pull the motor, or drop the tranny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooinater Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 i've always pulled the motor. less time for me, and less hassle, plus you have a loot more room to work on the clutch. a lot less awkward angles too. but mine also has most of the emissions removed. even with emssions hose i still pulled he engine.

MaroonDuneDoom Posted December 5, 2003 Author Share Posted December 5, 2003 i've never pulled the engine before. i have an ea82 spfi. i just want to drop the tranny or do whatever is easiest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I also find it easier to do by pulling the motor. tansmissions are heavy.. fighting with gravity sucks.. its easier to pull the motor with a cherry picker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaroonDuneDoom Posted December 5, 2003 Author Share Posted December 5, 2003 so pull the motor and leave the tranny bolted in? i don't have a cherry picker, but i read somewhere that the engine weighs less than 200 lbs. maybe i could get another hand or two and just lift the bastard out.

Nomad Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hi there! I dropped my tranny when I did mine. On four blocks, in the driveway...took me a weekend. Course, I didn't have ALL the tools right at my fingertips AND the real reason I dropped the trans was to replace it with the D/R, and I was doing both cv shafts anyway. I've never pulled a Sube engine, so I don't personally know how hard it is, but I've been told its easier to go that route than to drop the tranny. Be sure of your torque values, ESPECIALLY on the pressureplate, and do everything you can while you're in there...of course you'd think that was common sense, but you'd be amazed at how many ppl have said to me that "well, I didn't change the pilot bearing cause it didn't need it at the time...":cornfuzz: My $0.02 Good Luck!
