How do you remove the transmission !!

Without:
.... Removing the engine
.... Cutting out the cross member

I have removed the drive shafts, transfer case, rear transmission support , shifter and muffler supports.

Do you unbolt the transmission, slide it back, then angle bell housing downwards and side it out forwards and down ?

a few options...
pull the tranny back after its loose and take the clutch out, grind away at the crossmember "its a small amount"

slide the tranny back and twist it to the pass. side and it slides right out


:massey:

or take out the two motor mount bolts (say driver/exhaust side)cockengine to one side .......remove trans ......:D if as I do you have sidetrack eng/trans pull eng.......Mr moto sounds right also

Thanks everyone for the information.

I want to avoid cutting out the cross member.

I try sliding it to one side.

With those Toyota axles there is lots of working room. It puts the transmission way up there when working on ones back !

If I am correct there are only four (4) bolts holding the transmission to the engine. Two at the bottom and two at the top.

Must the starter be removed ?

Yes the starter has to be removed. I left the T/C in mine and opted to trim the cross member. Not very much has to be tooken out.

I got mine out (and in) without pulling the T-case or cutting the crossmember. You gotta play with positioning it right, and then force it a little. :D Should be easier if you can slide the trans back and unbolt the pressure plate from the flywheel first (I did NOT do this). Getting it out wasn't much of a problem, but getting it in was interesting. I did it though! :D

thats when cocking the engine comes in........:D

I was talking tracker engine/tracker 2wd trans...........trans is 6.5 inches longer than sammy..........:D

I cursed while I was pulling it out and I cursed when I put it back in......you just have to move it around a bit to get it out. I didn't have to cut or grind anything but I got a good laugh at the weight of the tranny.... I was used to the big trucks.

Don't forget to unplug the reverse switch....I broke mine while pulling on it...



92 Zukimoo with piston #3 gone, 87 tin top, 88 soft top all covered in mud........

Without cutting anything the transmission came out. I had to twist and turn it a bit as well as repositioning the engine.

Getting it back in should be a pain.

Now to have the flywheel turned.

And another thread on the disc thick ness.

Hey George, how's it coming this time? Mine just keeps transmuting...

No cutting required ! :flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

The dual case project has stalled out. I built the divorced unit using an inchworm adapter and my own front plate, but the package length is to long with a stock wheel base.

I also needed a clutch. I had been putting this off until my dual case conversion was in progress. Giving up on that, it was clutch time.

I picked up an 85 4x4 toy, maybe I will have to install the dual cases in it. A good transfer case setup is really a bad thing to waste.

I am planning to be at the colorado4x4 swap meet this weekend checking things out. I hope to be there in the Zuk.

Take care

hey Mikro...

You going to ZookiFest in MA on the 26th?

Get a trailer and bring some of those Suzuki's there...

I could use a Traker engine?!
