Stupid question, I know, but I didn't see it mentioned... Is the driveshaft out?

 

Ya.

I think the input shaft is hung up on the outermost clutch disc. I was told that often happens and you have to align it "just so" to pull the trans out. Brute force is apparently, bad.

I should have pulled the fuckying motor. I think it is gay as hell that i have to pull the motor each time i have to swap trannies. Fail.

Sean AKA GODLIEST GOD OF WRENCHING may stop by this evening before I pull the motor to lay his senior eye upon my catastrophe.

 

Maybe if you took pics and posted them we would be more helpful. Well really it would just be more ---- for us to laugh at.

 

There aint shiit to see. Just a damn trans that is 3/4" away from the oil pan lookin all obstinate n shiz.



To fix my transmission problem I have determined that the solution is custom cams. Yes, I have a reasonable priced source for custom VVT cams.

So.

What specs should I get? 280? 272? Give me specs.

 

Are you absolutely positive you have all the bolts out? Serious face. I pulled my trans a good inch away from the engine and it wouldn't budge any further. I pry barred that ---- and once the ear on my starter broke off everything came off all nice and happy. The bolt was hidden under some wiring harness and i couldn't see it

 

Good to know you've came to your senses Faefae.

 

I refuse to do clutch/transmission work without removing the engine. I have a small garage though, no room on the sides. I need an old driveshaft for a plug though.

 

Call Steve@ Panic Motorsports. He sells old drive shafts already cut to be used as plugs.

I recently built a big garage, and my house has a 2 car garage attached to it. I have plenty of room, but it still sucks.
When I pull my engine, (which will hopefully be the end of this year hopefully), I am pulling the trans and engine in 1 piece. F that laying under it and seperating them crap.

 

i offered my help, and texted you but never got a reply

 

I have to give you a prop on that. That ---- was funny, and I have been there.

 

Pics.







Thank you Sean.

 

what was the dealio?

 

I'm guessing the solution was simple - daylight.

 

Sean is a man

 

U mean not drinking before working on it?

 

This. I am the worst mechanic in the world.

 

Let's see how many hours it takes me to put new trans in. Bets? My bet is 85.

 

did you really leave the starter bolts in???






A new record has been set gentlemen

 

Leave them out on install for easier removal when you realize you've fckd something else?
