Did you have your flywheel resurfaced?

Those top two bolts are even more a pain in the ass when you have an RB.

I can have the transmission pulled from my rb in about 45 minutes.

I hope you atleast scuff up the the flywheel and rub it down real good with a cleaning solvent.

I didnt know you were on TR

titan uranus · 03-30-2008, 10:36 AM

ten minute transmission pulls are the norm... just takes practice i guess...lol.. anyways...remove shifter, pull drive shaft, remove tranny mount, unbolt exhaust at the cat... place your stock ass scissor jack between the exhuast and the floor board... screw the jack(as if you were lifting the car) this will tilt the motor and tranny back... then with a sweet extension and socket, you can easily get to the top two bolts... but ya, the right tools really help (24in extension and swivle sockets)

or maybe i shouldnt give out the secrets....

onezx2ner · 03-30-2008, 01:00 PM

^thats the way I do it.

If I ever get around to moving the engine back I'm going to put a access panel when I reweld the firewall.

chask · 03-30-2008, 06:14 PM

yea when i put it back on i just jacked the motor up to get it at an angle and first try we slide that bitch back into the motor wrenched that shit back on and i was done.... i had some trouble with putting the throw out bearing onto the fork in the bellhouseing but i kept pushing it to far foward and it was knocking it off the shaft thus makeing the pins come out of the fork... but it was cake really... i bet i can do it in a few hrs now compared to 2 days.... like i siad.. i had absolotly no experance at that... the most i have ever really done was take a diff off and got it welded that was cake 2but idk if was fun

170k240 · 03-30-2008, 06:57 PM

yeah, a long extension and a u-joint and socket will get the job done

Vultur · 03-30-2008, 10:37 PM

its not needed to upgrade the flywheel to a lighter weight, BUT when changing your clutch disc, its ALWAYS a good idea to have your flywheel resurfaced.

very true... You can also have your stock flywheel lighted by a machine shop...

Another easy way to do it is jack up the front of your motor so the back points down.. Then just unbolt the top 2... Thats how I did it in the hardbody...
