Tightmopedman9 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 It's out! Started at 6pm got it out at 1am. Not bad for my first time and working by myself... The only casualties were my trans-mount and my brand new wideband 02. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tightmopedman9 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I unplugged it but I guess the connector just got pulled with the engine. I'm going to take a look at it and see if I can solder it back together, but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Taking a quick break right now. Just need to get the new serpentine belt on and then separate the tranny and put it on the new engine. I'm guessing it will be in the car by 6 tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad850 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 At least you didn't forget to unplug the gas lines like I did my first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Alright, just gotta bolt the tranny up and re-clock the CHRA and she'll be all good to go in. I took a look at the wideband and it's fucked. Good use of $60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Coming along then! Where's the pics? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Pictures take too much time and since I'm working alone and this is my DD I don't have much to spare. I did just snap a few for your sake Splining the transmission is such a PITA! I'm taking the first long break today because I have to loosen the PP to move the clutch. my workbench We got some snow today, I won't be able to try out the new power for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Getting there! Always time for a few pics - I always work alone Looks like you'll be having a white Christmas, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdlimy Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Maybe you already know this but heres a tip for aligning the clutch(how i do it). Eye ball the disk as close to center as you can get it and then just barely snug the pp bolts down, only enough to hold it in center but loose enough that you can grab the disk center and move it around. now shove the tranny on there straight and then remove it carefully to make sure the input shaft doesnt go cockeyed and move the disk. Now tighten down the pressure plate and bolt the tranny up. I know plenty of people that eye ball it and torque the pp down and dont have issues but ive found its much better just to do it this way, it takes a hair longer but it really aligns the disk nicely. Looks like your making good progress! I remember my 20g swap, i had to do it in one day, and at the same time i was doing my first rn swap, and it was also my daily driver, fun times!

Tightmopedman9 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I've had to mate the tranny with the engine 6 times on this car and I always had a broom that was the exact right size, not at my new house though. I was thinking about doing it the way you said, but of course I assumed it'd be fine as is. Shitty thing is I used red loctite on the PP bolts so it should be a fun time getting it loose again...

boxpin Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Had to just throw this in. Here is an 18T against a 20G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) I got the tranny mated up and the CHRA re-clocked, but I think I may have gone too much in the wrong direction. I did what I thought would be best for my situation, but I think in the car it may be too far off vertical. This is the last thing I need before I can get the engine back in the car so any help would be appreciated. Trans mount modification: @boxpin I was so used to the 20G, when I took the engine out and had another look at the 15g I had a chuckle. The thing is tiny!

mdlimy Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Pictures are deceiving, first one looks to much of an angle and the second pic looks like its ok... What's the problem here? Clock the chra back a bit and Atatch a rubber oil hose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 These are ones I made for 20g + stock manifold, with ATP spacer You need to angle the drain right off the flange, not come down then angle. With no AWD, you have more room to play with. older solid pipe (marks are from the exploded bevel gear pinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
