StealthCat Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Fucccccccck that. Not unless I have to. If it's a last resort situation get ahold of me, but without a lift it's a huge pain in the ass on a RWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweezel Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I've done clutches/converters in both. I'll take a RWD car over a FWD car ANY DAY. Drop the drive shaft, cross member, Lower the back of the trans, pull out the top bolts, raise the trans back up, support it, disconnect the conections, take out the last few bolts on the bottom, slide it backwards, lower trans jack, slide out from under car. On a FWD you gotta screw with half shafts, and everything is in there sideways and super tight, no room to work on anything.If you were closer I'd do it for ya, but seeing as how your 3 hrs away, it might be a bit of a problem.

exSRAaron Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'd rather do a RWD install too, but without a lift I dont think I wanna try it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r6allstar Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 ^^ eh its not that bad.. it is by far not fun either. I used to do all my own work on the Wrangler I had. Those things were a breeze to work on though. Did a complete engine swap in a day or two. I dont think I would want to in a car that sits low like an M3 though. To that I would def say fuuccccccck that too lol.GL Aaron... any pics of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather do RWD, sideways sucks to pull out in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweezel Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 ah, I loved working on my Wrangler, and my CJ-7. shit was so simple. My Firebird was lowered 2" and I changed the clutch in that every season, and replaced the synchros in the trans every summer too. I got to be an expert at pulling F-body transmissions. I had a S-10 blazer I did a solid front axle swap on, and a Chrysler 8.25 rear in. That was nice to work on too, didn't need to lift it at all to pull the trans, thing would slide in and out with no problems LoL. Only RWD I'm not super fond of pulling is old SBCs, because then you've got to pull the dist to get the engine to lean back far enough to get to the top trans bolts. not a big deal, just an extra step.
