hodge Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hi guys I'm wondering if a couple of local north east members would mind helping put my gearbox back in the car. Due to the size of the clutch there just ain't any room to manover. Myself and Bossco gave it a go today but had no luck at all as I has to go in on an angle with millimeters to spare. I recon to get it in it's going to take 4 of us under the car to be safe and get it in position. There'll be myself and Bossco and hopefully another 2 of you. We will be starting about 8.30pm. I'm hoping it will be in within a couple of hours. Thanks in advance, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouch Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Can't help but know the problem getting my tripple plate HKS out was a nightmare thought i was gonna have to take the engine mounts off to tilt the engine and allow it to come off! Ended up just jacking the front of the engine up a bit and two of us just got it past the bulk head. The twin carbonetic went on a treat after to so that was a bonus! Good luck!

The box is off bud, we just can't get it back on lol. If I tilt the engine back I'm going to have to take my top rad pipe, and intercooler pipes off aswell which means bleeding off the engine again.

michel lane Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 i have a gearbox craddle that was made for the supra, it will allow a single man to install the gearbox on axle stands. You will need a low profile jack. Ill have a look around the lockup, i used it last year on my red car, it beats benching 150kg . your welcome to use it.

bignum Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 You will need to tilt the motor back, slacken the mounts off 1st, you wont need to bleed the cooling system by taking the top rad hose off just top the rad back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hodge, I'd happily help but I'm probably going to be tied up until about 9 as well. More than happy to drop you my mob no. and if you need an extra pair of hands around 8.30 call me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
