joshsmith3662 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago 2007 Outback legacy is it easier to drop the transmission to change the clutch or pull the engine? Odd question maybe. I can’t find any information on the weight of the 5 speed manual that’s in the car. I don’t have a lift but i do have a cherry picker. I’m just not sure if I can get the car high enough to drop the transmission. What have you guys done? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocei77 Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago (edited) I've done it both ways but without help or a tranny jack, i'd lift the engine. You have to get it up high and its no fun wrestling that weight. Yes you have to drain the coolant and separate the exhaust (don't forget to disconnect the O2 sensors), but I can do this without help. O.

lmdew Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago If you have other engine maintenance to do, pull the engine. Yes either works. Reseal the oil separator plate behind the flywheel. RTV - gray. Get the metal plate if you'r is plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
