please somebody reply to this i need my engine out by tommrow.

How skilled are you at this sort of thing would be my first question... What did you do with wire harness... Did you label everything so its not a guessing game. Also Theres a lot, some you might of overlooked. After that I would need to know auto or manual. If its manual its very hard to pull engine and leave tranny in car... You have to shift the engine about, I would say, 3-4 inches left To get the flywheel/clutch assembly out of bell housing... Why dont you just take out axles from tranny and pull everything?

it is a manual tranny. i have everything in seprate baggys and everything is labled. would it be easier to just pull the tranny too? is there better instuctions than a chiltons book? thanks for the info

For pulling an engine chiltons is a joke... Try a search for this forum... You are going to have to do one of three things...

1.Remove axles from tranmission. (if you have qeustions on how to do this ask.) Then lift the engine and tranny out together.

2.Same as number on but unhook tranny from engine after removing axles and drop to the ground under car... Then lift engine out.

3.Remove Damper pully. Timing belt covers. And everything else you can possibly remove on the front ( left side of engine) So you can swing it out 3-4 inchs

Number 1 is the easiest, removing the axles was the hardest part I think...

ok i think i am going for #1. i am going to do some research and finish this project tommrow. thanks for all your help.
