stupid tranny...

[gvr4144]

Im having trouble wiggling the tranny out. I removes transmissions before on dsms but never had this problem. Trying to slide it out straight but i keep hitting this bracket. Any tips..?

Remove the gusset (bracket). It's like five bolts. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

 

[gvr4144]

Ill probably have to do that... was that necessary for anyone else?

 

[manikbastrd]

Yeah, pull the bracket, also the whole rotate the tranny thing usually helps. Counter clockwise if you are looking at it from the wheel side.

 

[gvr4144]

Tranny thing?

 

[manikbastrd]

Rotating the tranny is what I meant. Poor grammars...my apologies.

 

[Yao]

yeah, the bracket needs to go

 

[gvr4144]

Alright ill give it another shot thanks guys...

Always have to take the bracket off when dropping it out the bottom. And the passenger axle is always a jerk.

It's possible to remove/install with that plate still installed but it's a royal pia and requires a lot of twisting, lifting, and cussing. It's so simple to remove the five bolts and get it out of the way it makes removal/installation 100x easier.

Yeah, removal of the gusset plate is a must when removing the trans.

 

[gvr4144]

xuberantz lol that was me yesterday i swear i almost had it but it was getting late. Also that passenger axel was a pain it popped out at the boot.

 

[gvr4144]

Definitely 100x easier taking that plate off, came right out thanks fellas...

Now the real fun is putting it back in

 

[brisvr4]

Putting them back in is the easy bit. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Where's that Polish video? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

I can get one onto the engine with just a trolley jack in under a minute.

 

[gvr4144]

Well guys im trying to get my shiny new tranny mounted but i cant seem to get it in. You guys have any tips to help? I have a tranny jack but should i just try to get a second person?

 

[coyotes]

I think a transmission jack is a pain in the ass. I've always put them on my chest and stuck em in. Done many that way, even by myself.

 

[gvr4144]

Just go beast mode then... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif Lol its worth a shot.

 

[gvr4144]

How strong are you..? lol im 200 pounds and know im stronger then most. Seemed like i was going to get it but the throw out bearing popped off and my shoulder got pinned under it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif lol
