VERY COOL!
btw, you dont need to remove your hubs or your tie rods. you can just unbolt the top two suspension bolts, and swing the whole assembly out of the way.

Sorry, I'd like to use this as a guide to replace my clutch plates, so I have a few questions:
1) Is it really necessary to remove the engine mounts to drop the tranny?
2) If you do that, shouldn't you first support the engine and the tranny before you remove the mounts?
3) Shouldn't you at least first support the tranny before undoing the tranny mount?
4) Is it possible to leave the engine mounts in place, support the tranny, undo teh tranny mount bolts and then lower the tranny?

the front and rear mount are attched to the crossmember, that has to come out to lower the engine to remove and install the tranny. so yes, the front mount has to come out.

the engine and tranny are held in place by the drivers side tranny mount, and the passanger side engine mount. the front and rear mount are there basicly just to stop the motor from turning on itself.
you need to support the engine when you undo the tranny mount.
you have to remove the 3 mounts i talked about earlier, then lower the engine/tranny combo to be able to get the tranny off and on.

Once you get to that point, where the engine and trans are lowered and separated, is there enough room to replace the clutch without taking the trans out?

it wont make a difference on the camber. camber is controlled by the two 19mm bolts that are connected to the strut. our cars have very little room for adjustment from those bolts, and you can simply push or pull the hub to/away from you to kick the camber out a little when you bolt everything back up. no negative impact to swinging that hub out, just less work.

Plus once you get to that point, unbolting the tranny from the engine is just easy so you almost might as well anyway, even if you didn't have to (but you totally DO)

yups like what everyone said laugh.gif

1.Yes front and rear
2.No like Presure2(Manny) said both right and left side engine mounts hold the engine and tranny while the front and rear mounts are out.
3. Yes put a wooden block between the oil pan and jack and support the engine. Then use a engine crane/cherry picker/transmission jack to support the transmission. Then remove the driver's side trans mount.
4. No you need to remove the front and rear engine mounts to get to the trans bolts and to lower the engine enough so you can slide out the trans. MAKE SURE YOU LOWER THE ENGINE ACCORDINGLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE WIRING AND YOUR EXHAUST.

lol..when i do it, i use the picker to hold the engine, placed in from the passanger side, attached to the drivers side engine hook.
then i lay under the car, and bench press the tranny out, and back in after the clutch is done. laugh.gif

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. Once the trans is SEPARATED from the engine (like a few inches), is there enough room to replace the clutch with the trans still under the car, or do you have to roll it outside? What I'm getting at is this: If you need to roll it outside, the car needs to be sitting up higher on stands to clear, right?

Oh i read your question right biggrin.gif I doubt the pressure plate bolts are easy to get to with the trans oh say about 4in. from the engine. There is just no room to get at it safely IMO. My car is sitting about 4ft. in the air in my garage on jack just to let you know wink.gif

Well I'm glad I found this thread. Just my $0.02 this should be in the how-to section up front or stickied.

My clutch is slipping and need to change it.... a week after I spent nearly a grand to replace my timing belt and alternator.

Hopefully this will help save me some money.

Great write up, awesome pictures, and thank you very much.

Just a few.

I'm doing the job this Sunday provided that my clutch arrives on time.

How bad did your car spill its guts in your garage/driveway? I'm trying not to completely stain the driveway so I'll be putting a tarp down, but I would like to know what to prepare for. Typical oil change (a little drip here and there), or like... an anti-freeze change where its ganna get all over the place?

Only other real question is a combo.... how long did the job take you all together start to finish? How many people did you have help or were you flying solo? Which part took the longest? How much of a bitch were the axles?


Thank you for the info. Yea I searched because I couldn't believe there wasn't a sticky or anything on something as typical to do on our cars as change our a clutch. Should be right next to the drum-disk brake conversion how-to as far as I'm concerned.

Again thanks for offering to help out, I'm sure we'll run into something on the way that will have us scratching our heads.

I've never done a clutch but axles are easy. It took me longer messing with the carrier bearing(i think) on the passenger axle than to actually change it out.

I drained the gear oil in a bucket i cut in half, then put that oil in an oil change box (try not to recycle gear oil since you're there).

Only other real question is a combo.... how long did the job take you all together start to finish? How many people did you have help or were you flying solo? Which part took the longest? How much of a bitch were the axles?
From 9am to 5pm with breaks like lunch, tv time, piss break, and stuff like that. Had just my cousin (Herosblade) and I doing this in my garage. The part that took the longest was dropping and raising the tranny out and back in. Axles were kinda easy cuz i did axle jobs before so i knew what to do.

I've got another question as we're nearing game time....

And let me know if you'd rather have these here or in a pm.

Did you have a difficult time getting the tranny off? I was told by a family member who just changed the tranny on his truck that I'd need a gun and a torch in order to loosen the bolts on the tranny, is this accurate?

I know that it'll depend on how old the car is, weather in the area and so on, but did you have trouble with this?

Also what are the torque specs on it?

First time i had the tranny out the bolts came out easy with a cordless snap-on electric impact gun and went in with that same gun.

1 1/2 later doing the tranny drop in this post i only used 1/2in drive rachet with a breaker bar with some good effort to get them off.
Take not that I live near the ocean and i never did clean the engine bay are (top of bottom)
Having any Pnuematic tool on had is always a plus whether you need it or not. thumbsup.gif

I dont remember the torque specs i did but i do know it was hand tightened at first then a couple weeks later i re-torqued to the specs in the book. I would say no tighter than 60 should be good. IMO you dont wanna over tighten in that area.

What top two bolts are you referring to here? Would you happen to have pics to show us?

(I have to swap out a tranny right away here and want as much research under my belt as possible before I start... hence the "back from the dead" thread)
