As Tom said, I would stress that if you are removing the tranny with the motor installed please support the engine in someway (a jack with a piece of wood on top) anything just so that the engine doesn't sag alot when you remove the tranny. If you let it sag it will hang from some of the waterhoses (at least a 1.9l will) and could trash out the hose. Estimated time on this job is 2-4 hours for tranny removal. Clutch replacement can take as little as 30min (if all you are doing is removing and replacing the clutch and pressure plate) or a few days if you have to remove the flywheel and get it machined and remove a self-destructed pilot bearing. Have fun. Ken Wilford Van-Again John 3:16 |
