Need to do the clutch and belts alone

Can the engine be pulled with the box on the back?

 

no.. ive just took my engine out of a classic...my self and it was easier thani thought, just take engine out then change clutch ect... drop it back in

 

isn't it a mare to get back in and onto the input shaft?

 

No mate it's quite easy, i have done it on me todd and tbh theres not a lot to it, in fact if i were to do just the clutch i'd take the engine out having just taken about 4hrs to get a box and diff out on my back with axel stands, i'd have the engine out in an hour and a half easy having done it twice.

1st time is the hardest as with anything, took me around 5 hrs but i was faffing and took loads off that i didn't need to.

Tricky bit is the turbo oil return pipe if you had a bearing failure and need to flush it with oil, as this is done when you put it back in and everything is together and can be a right pig.

Just make sure you get the clutch plate nice and central, you can use a scrap shaft to line things up but i never had that and just did by eye.

 

not sure im putting my engine in this week end so i will fine out but im gessing no becouse on the engine it has 2 studs for elignment .. so you just line the studs up to the gearbox and push engine back job done bolt gearbox and bring engine down on engine mounts ect your see easy job when doing it

 

you stick it in 5th jack the wheels up and giggle it just a little bit i wana see you wiggle it just a little bit

 

was that aimed at me EXPLAIN ??

To get the input shaft to locate you need to put it in 5th gear, jack the wheels off the ground then turn them slightly so the splines line up, then just gently slide the engine in, you will also need to jack the gear box up as well.

the song was me being stupid. have fun

 

thats the only prob ive had is lining up the spline properly, been a right pita but i`ll try that thing putting it in 5th. gotta do my clutch the weekend

apart from that it is alot easier pulling the engine forward and you`re not on your back in the dirt

 

Has nobody herd lo a clutch alignment tool lol is a pice of cake with the right tools

 

Ansre to ur question take engine out leave box in

 

Take the engine out to do clutch ???? Really ?

I had my box off within an hour. Did borrow a ramp though.

 

I only have axle stands. I have read that pulling the block isn't much longer than having the box off.

 

Us real men don't get girly luxuries like ramps and alignment tools.

 

If all you have is axel stands, engine out is a damm sight easier and as i said above 2hrs and while its out you can do all the fluids, cambelt,clutch and flywheel and even the plugs with no hastle at all set of headers and an up pipe in no time, on your driveway in a day.

That lot would cost the best part of a grand in labour alone.

 

How do I put it in 5th gear I took engine out and clutch disconected.

 

there's this stick like thing in the middle of centre console, i think they call it a gear stick.

 

 

 

At home engine out, on a ramp gearbox out

 

VERY FUNNY !!!

No i meant to say i got advice on how to disconnect the engine from gearbox. he then said dont push the clutch down. so im saying will it go in 5th with out pushing clutch down ?

 

classic

 

mug !! this is my first time ive took a subaru engine out and first time ever putting it in gear to put an engine back in, why not help me out instead of taking the psss.. i dont want to fck anything im asking for advice ive took engine out. flywheel is all torqued up and clutch is back on

 

Yes mate just put it into 5th no need to touch the clutch pedal it will just go into gear

 

yes it will go into gear mate , only need clutch when engine running ! even if you pushed clutch pedal by accident its not so bad , you would only have to bleed it,

Thank you.. im learning slowly never new i had to put it in 5th

 

Mate, i was helping you! and calling me names is not a nice thing to do.

You have a couple of questions at the min running over two threads, you have the engine out, well done thats the easy bit.

But you don't know what the clutch does, so an even bigger WELL DONE!

Now some of us have a sense of humour, and find it amusing that your asking about putting a car into gear when there is no engine in or running, on account of it being funny to those of us that know the clutch is there to disengage the engine from the transmission so enabling a gear to be selected,hence it being funny that you are asking this question and there is no engine in the car.

Now we all have to start somewhere, but learn to laugh at yourself and chill out a bit think about what your doing and do your research BEFORE you start otherwise you won't get far.

 

sorry mate i took it wrong way.. ive never had to put it into gear while the engine out, thats why i asked was it ok to do so but then just reading that i clocked on that no clutch ect is in the car... so yer it was a stupid question, my bad... how comes it needs to be in 5th gear ive neaver heard none of that whats up with nutreal ?

 

I'm not 100% on that myself, i presume it's because there will be less resistance, which shouldn't be relevant so could be wrong on that, or the shaft is furthest forward when its in 5th so making it easier to engage.

But the info came from a trusted source so i didn't question it, i'm more of a how person than a why person and it worked so who cares.
