[Mouse6933]

[vutony]

[Mouse6933]

yea i figured it out once i started messingn around with it, thanks anways. Still cant get the bolt out for my trans, the top bell housing ones, i took out my cross member brace on the trans and still cant get them, that the only thing i have left to do..

I hope you are not taking the trans off just to change the oil pan lol.

Get one of those swivels for impact wrenches. Its not a u-joint type but a ball-socket type. Makes the job much easier.

On a side note; Did anyone else notice how much aluminum casting flash there was in their Greddy pan ?

I seriously cleaned mine out for a good 45 min to an hour. I certainly hope everyone else did too, and didn't just slap it on out of the bag.

i didnt notice relly anything in the pan i gave it a once over, then blew it out with my air gun it was fine, no im take out the trans for my clutch swap, i have planty of entensions, swivel jopints, and thoses ratcheting wrenches and still cant get these f ucking bolts, its driving me insane, i coulda easily pulled my enigne and done it that way by now.... Sooo i dont know what ima do its 3 bolts i cant get, did yall have to looosen your engine mounts or something because right now thats the only thing that i think would help.. and if you did howd you support your engine, like where you put the jack on.. Thanks alot for any info, im like ready to give up this is tkae way to long cuz these 3 damn bolts

[ILikeMy240sx]

Some people do pull the engine out to take the trans off. They find that much easier.

spherical swivel and a long extension is really all you need to break those loose. I know its hard to get to but its not impossible

[Mouse6933]

yea im almost at the point where ima yank it, cuz idk it just seems with the trans lowered, or when i jack it up that there isnt room bewteen the firewall and the bolt for the swivel and the socket to fit. any live in south jersey wanan lend a helping hand. to a very frustrated sr owner.. hahah still trying everything i can top push pull poke, prod, but idk nothing seems to give me enough clearence. Thanks again evreyone for the help and tips

My friends that helped me take out my transmission for a clutch swap laughed when I told them some SR guys just pull the whole motor.... then they stopped laughing when we started taking out the transmission bolts and then when we went to put them back in.

[Mouse6933]

yea man its crazyness, talking with my dad, and have come to the conclusion of just yanking my motor( i had been planning on doing this for a while and getting a new shell) sooo its time, pulling motor trans, suspension. And Hunting for a new Body..... .. Dont have much money soo gunna look locally for somehting with a blown motor..or any one out there wanna point me in direction of some cas, plese do. Thanks once again for the help on this ...

[ILikeMy240sx]

yeah.. next time i do the trans, Im pulling the motor out. It takes me 2 hours if I dont screw around. Putting it back in kindda sucks tho.. since you have to line up the engine mount and what not.. it sucks.

[DuckyD]

It's seriously that much of an issue for you guys to get the transmission off?1) Loosen motor mounts2) Take off transmission cross brace.3) Jack up front of motor4) Remove all the bolts.For me, there was only one "difficult" one and it was the bolt near the upper exahust side. I guess also because I have taken off like 3 trannies.

[ILikeMy240sx]

Its nots even just the bolts... when I tried to line up the trans back into the engine, it was very difficult to get it to go in smoothly. Sometimes I got lucky and it would slide right in but many times, I usually had to have a friend benchpress the trans while I use my foot to shove it into the engine... Its a big pain in the a s s

[DuckyD]

Fair enough. We had to do the same thing. Me benchpressing the transmission while my budy kung-pow kicked the transmission back on.

I just recently ordered my Greddy oil-pan, it should be here some time next week. I'm hoping that the pan is enough to prevent oil starvation.

[DuckyD]

I just got mine today. Why are there two taps on the side? They sent a plug for it, so I am not worried. But seriously, what could that be used for?
