Al Breakit 10-24-2001, 12:26 PM This may be a stupid question but it's got me stumped. I just pulled my 2f, 4spd trans/xfer. After seperating the tranny from the clutch housing, I can't figure out how to get the housing off the block. All the bolts are inside the housing and the two bolts that I can reach back out into the flywheel. The only way I can see to remove it is to remove the clutch, then the housing???? Any info is appreicated. Thanks. morgan 10-24-2001, 12:59 PM I'm pretty sure the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate have to come off to remove the bellhousing. Do I understand your question right? I can't imagine wanting to remove the bellhousing without first removing that other stuff. Morgan aldenrower 10-24-2001, 01:29 PM Morgan is right. The clutch and flywheel have to be removed before the bellhousing can be unbolted from the engine block. Jimyrigdfj 10-24-2001, 01:53 PM Yup It sucks but the flywheel does have to come off have fun <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> MD11Fr8Dog 10-24-2001, 02:26 PM Originally posted by newcruiser: <STRONG>This may be a stupid question but it's got me stumped.

Thanks.</STRONG> Yep, get the pressure plate off, then the 4 bolts on the flywheel and remove it and then the 6 bolts on the bellhousing, two outside the bellhousing and 4 inside. I just did mine the hard way, since my engine was seized, I had to lay the block on its side and remove all the bearings until I could get the crakshaft to rotate so I could get the preasure plate off. A real PITA!! Good luck! Screwzer 10-24-2001, 02:33 PM At least the flywheel is held on by 6 bolts with a reasonable torque. Much better than the 36mm nut that's torqued to 300 ft. lbs. on a VW.

How's that rig doing - been wheeling it in the Oklahoma Mountains? <IMG SRC="smilies/laughing.gif" border="0"> Cheers Andy | |
