Hello I just bought a 94 toyota celica GT model 2.2 liter. The clutch is slipping and needs to be changed. I just bought a chilton manual that is very helpful but I am a little concerned. I have changed clutches before on rear wheel drive but never a front wheel drive car.
-I have searched for over an hour for a good write up on how to do this on a 6th gen. or 94 celica with no luck???

-My main question is this. When disconnecting the trans from the motor, the motor is no longer attached to the body in any way that I am aware of so,

-do people usually just pull the whole motor out with the trans.?
*Personally I don't like this idea*
If so do they drop it out the bottom or pull it out. I don't have an engine hoist at my garage.

-Or how does on go about supporting the motor after the trans is out?
*would just some chains do the job wrapped around the motor and connected to the upper braces on each side of the engine bay?


-How is this usually done, and how difficult is this job say compared to
other cars??? I don't want to pay a ton to have it done when I can do it, unless it wouldn't cost that much...... Thanks guys, I just bought this car and am already losing my hair!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok first off i know that there are motor mounts that hold the engine and that if you have a engine hoist you could attach that to hold the eninge, you could use jack stands, that what we did on my friends civic

i can't really help you though as i didn't do much work I was just there for just in case, i know that we didnt pull the motor

THanks, I believe there are 3 total engine and tranny supports and with the trans out only one is left attached to the motor? That is all I can find so far on this???

It is very similar to changing a 5th gen celica. They use the same engine mounts.

You will need a transmission jack to lower the transmission properly without damaging the mounts, tranny and engine.
