911 - Xc Engine Pull

Recommended Posts


nice work. it was my understanding its supposed to be much easier to pull the trans out along w/ the engine but you didnt seem to have much trouble leaving the trans alone ... comments/observations?


I consulted with Hussein but he was out of town so I had to get started. I have pulled out the top many times but only once out the bottom. I personally found the bottom harder. Its tough in the driveway. This is for the motor though, for a clutch I would do it out the bottom. If I had to do it again I would pull the turbo first then everything that was hard to get to was accessible. I did have to move the transfer case out because there is one bolt that does not clear unless its out.

Oh!!! there is a big difference in the blocks. I should mention this. The AWD block has a machined section below the turbo where the transfer case sits. A standard block hits the transfer case. I had to trim a section of the block off to get it to clear. I should post a picture, its worth mentioning for others that try this.


wow, you did all of this in 3 days for your daughter?! She's one lucky girl!


Love my kids

I just did my first pull with leaving the tranny in the vehicle. SO much faster, saved me hours!!!

Can only be done on an automatic though. Anyway, great work!! I've had two of that color at the same time. One my wife's and one mine, we looked retarded with the identical cars.
