very confused why you did that. It should take around 2 hours to pull the engine/trans together. Do you have a load leveler/friend to help?
I was wondering the same thing.
-
I wanted to see how difficult it was to take out the trans. It took about 1 hour and I was taking my time.
Height is an issue as have to have my garage door open to make room for the hoist.
Excited to see what is going on in the engine!

Pic for future reference.
Got the motor 99% ready to be pulled. Now I just have to find a place to put it!

Finally!!
The clutch removal was interesting. The dowel with the bolt head, pictured below was finger loose and was backed out about 2 full turns. Some of the others were a little loose but this was the worst one. SKETCH!
These allen bolts were loose as well. I will be calling UUC to see what the deal is. There can't be more than 3,000 miles on the clutch.

If you scroll up from the bottom it's like the engine is going back in!

It's just that easy!

Use loctite on the pressure plate hardware for sure. The clamping force of that pressure plate,the aluminum flywheel, and dissimilar metals makes for a good recipe for loss of torque.
Cant tell you how happy I am to see an update here. It gives me motivation
I'm excited to get it sorted out soon. The goal is to drop the engine to C&S Performance no later than February 15.
I'll have them make a torque block and straighten everything out.

Fun! At least it is a very evident issue.
Recommendation, use n54 exhaust manifold studs. They have a torx head on the end so you don't have to double nut every stud in. Doesn't really matter now, but just good info to get out there!
I'm glad to see you digging into this again!
