Subject: Re: pulling the motor - question by djxib on 2011/10/6 2:28:08 For a ZF6, some will say remove the hood and pull motor and tranny together. For mine, I first separated the transmission from the bellhousing, then pulled the engine and bellhousing together. Key tips/steps for me were: 1. Support the transmission with a tranny jack and remove the C beam and driveshaft 2. Lower the rear of the transmission so you can see all the tranny to bellhousing bolts (and the shifter is clear), support the rear of the motor with another jack, then separate the tranny from the bell housing. Note that the engine mounts will be fine if you do this. 3. Using a load leveler, pull the motor and bellhousing together. It will be easier if you remove the balancer when doing this. Sounds easy - first time it isnt, but it gets easier. |
