Got a picture?You removed the bolt retaining it on and it wont pop off?You dont have a puller?Try tapping it off with a rubber mallet or a dead blow?

yep, just pull the whole damn motor. then go score a used motor. you gotta take the flywheel off too

SpankedYA!

Just get a long block like we talked about.

ahhhhhhhhh.. the tranny is going to be ------- gay to pull off. especially by myself. with no tranny jack..

I wouldn't suggest what you're doing. Get a used engine and be done. It's so much more work to replace a crank, when you could pick up a used engine for 200-300 bucks and be done.

Just pull the whole motor. You are going about it all wrong trying to do it in the car.

------- pulling the tranny is easy. Ive done it like 10 times on my celica. with no trans jack. your going to need a cherry picker though. Basicly.

pop the hood
take your slave cylender off of the engine and the tranny but dont take it off the hydraulic line, leave it still hooked up but remove it from the engine and transmission via the 2 bolts and the few holding the line down on the transmission
unscrew your vss cable and unhook the plug next to it.
take the shift linkage cables off.
take whatever ground wires off of your transmission
make sure its not bolted to anything but the engine
you loosen the lugnuts
loosen your axle nut
jack the front up
take the axle nuts off
drain your transmission fluid or you will be in for a supprise when you take the axles off
take the tie rod bolt off, take the bolts out of a arm on the bottom of the steering knucke on both sides
push down on the a arm to pull the knucle out of the arm
take the plastic covers off if they're still on
unbolt the lower cross member from the frame. you can worry about taking off the bolts to the mount later
take all of the bolts out of the flywheel cover. and the 2 lower transmission bolts while your down there
hook the engine up to the hoist make sure the hoist is holding the block up
take the 2 upper bolts holding your transmission to the block
take the transmission mount bolt out on the drivers side fender well
slowly lower the hoist
pull on your transmission to pop it off. you might have to shake it around alittle bit. and you might want to put some plywood under it incase you drop it so it doesnt nail the concreete

WHEN YOUR DOING THIS MAKE SURE YOU NEVER PICK IT UP OR SUPPORT ANY WEIGHT ON THE GEAR SELECTOR ARMS. if you bend them your ---- will not shift right. and its not hard to bend them. and if you bend them they're like 40 bucks from toyota.

and when you go to put your tranny back in while you have it out. you seirously have to hulk that bitch back up in there and line it up in the splines. so make sure you ate your wheaties.

thats about it. Dont ---- with changing your crank out. youll spend as much on a new headgasket bearings and your crank than you would on a long block that works.

if you want to pull the whole thing. you can at once. right out of the top. just take all of your harness off. do what i just wrote but leave the transmission bolted up. take your exaust mani off. and your radiator out. then the engine mount bolt and just pull the whole damn thing out. (wich would be the easyest way to go about it IMO.) Oh, and if your going to do this. Just take your whole damn hood off.


I'm not just making up ----. ive been there


spun bearing (can you find hte civic coil pack in this picture)

JAY DEE EM long block i coped for 600 shiped to my work


bent shift arm picking the transmission back up to put it in.


have fun
