Seperate the trans from the bellhousing, and use a floor jack under the trans to jack it up as high as you can. You want to be careful not to over do it. But you can't go too far, the bellhousing will hit the tunnel. Undo the hood prop, and you can get the hood to open farther. Then you can use something like a broom handle to keep the hood open. Then you can pull the engine out the side. I also pull the plastic cover on the wiper motor off, they can get easily broken pulling the engine. But with a ZF6, you have to seperate it between the trans and bellhousing, not the engine and bellhousing. And keep the floorjack under the trans to support the trans when the engine is out. And make sure the front of the trans is as high as it can go during the R&R, that will give you a good angle getting the engine in and out. Then you can remove the bellhousing and clutch when the engine is out. |
