P.S. when seperating, MAKE SURE there is enough pressure on the life to bear the weight. not just take the slak out... |
When seperating the engine from transmission the poster's question was he wanted to know how to do it without clutch damage.
The proper way to do it is to support the transmission when seperating.
Or you run the rish of clutch plate damage.
Also support the transmission when installing engine.
or you may have a clutch that does not work well.
