Clutch. Engine out job?
Trending Topics
both is true but depends how your doing it! if you have ramp its easier from below with box out! box is heavy tho! if no ramp easier to pull engine out /forward if you have a hoist!
Have replaced gearboxes and engines on Scoobys and have to say my preference would be engine out for a clutch change.
You really have to be on ramps to be safe when dropping the box, which is VERY heavy. Also you have to split the front suspension to remove the front driveshafts on the UK classic. And the nause of removing the rear drive shaft and the exhaust will have to be swung out of the way to get the box out. About 7 to 8 hours hard graft (remove/refit).
Engine out is mostly the same work as gearbox out (intercooler, starter, clutch lever pivot pin) plus remove the rad, nearly all from above.. Take the battery and washer bottle out allows the alternator and air con compressor to be swung out of the way without disconnecting. Power steering pump will sit were the air filter was on the other side of the engine bay. With a decent engine hoist you don't even need to remove the bonnet. Abot 5 to 6 hours pleasant work (remove refit)
Good luck
