So pulled my motor, sending Trans to Buschur except having trouble splitting Trans from motor. I used screw driver to pry tob back except still can't pull Trans off. My clutch fork won't move now so is tob stuck possibly? Anyone have this issue? Any ideas is greatly appreciated.

 

Might have to unbolt flywheel from the back, if you cant get TOB to release.. its a pain

 

i had the same thing hapen to me with my IX. you have to mke sure everything is lined up so bolt the tranny back onto the motor. then you just gotta get a flat head in there and pry that clutch fork and throw out bearing. careful not to damage your tranny because ive seen people crack it trying this

 

Ok I'll try this. I mean I know I moved it but I guess not enough.

 

Aren't the fly wheel bolts going to be covered by the pressure plate??

 

multiple large flat head screw drivers from both under and side. I found it to be easier with two people working it.

 

So it's just a matter of working it out of the wavy clip?

 

I think he meant the pressure plate bolts. I could not figure out how to get the TOB to pop off since it was my first time doing a tranny swap on any vehicle. Anyways I was able to unbolt the pressure plate from the flywheel going through the clutch fork hole and spinning the crank to get each of the 7 (I think) bolts out of the pressure plate. I then pulled the entire tranny and clutch out of the car and then popped off the TOB very easily

 

I meant that yess..

 

Everyone likes pictures, right?



Fresh and clean from sheptrans.

 

Ok cool I'll give this shot as well. Next question with my tob being connected to my clutch fork will the Trans still come off or is the fork supposed to be disconnected somehow?

 

Ok lol

 

Disregard clutch fork question lol

 

yea for me the hardest part replacing my clutch was not getting the tranny in and out it was getting off that damn motor. but it will never come off is everything isnt perfectly lined up.

 

jhoff004 did you unbolt your pressure plate to get it off? The same thing for me too I got the motor out and transfer case off in a breeze now I'm at a dead stop.
