Default Re: Removing Transmission

Since I do it on the floor I use a custom bracket I fabbed up that bolts to an extra floor jack I have. I pull 2 bolts out of the trans that bolt the cases together close to the middle of the trans. Once on the floor jack it balances almost perfectly and makes wiggling the trans around to get the splines lined up pretty easy. The car needs to be pretty high to get the shifter to clear when it is sitting on the jack. I put the bottom of the bell housing at a height of about 21 inches. I also use the big jack stands to stability and safety. Once the trans is in position to lift the ease of fitting it into the bell housing is a snap. Hopefully you have a spline line up tool just in case its needed.

It is just about that time again to replace the clutch so it won't be long for me either.

Good luck !
