One note if you spun the motor at all with the tranny separated then you will probably need to put the tranny in gear and spin the axle hub to get the splines to line up again.
:D This car has to be back together by the 31st. We did spin the throw out bearing... I'll keep that in mind when we are trying to get the wishbone thing back in place.

It will get done!

Not the throwout bearing the axle hub so you turn the input shaft in the tranny. I know you will get it done good luck.

Hehe, I'll keep that in mind. Just be warned that my car has a taste for blood. It cuts me once a day :D.

It's back in! Never mind the dangerous and precarious positions that resulted in victory ;).

Good, glad nobody got hurt sounds like it was harrowing I hope you took notes and lessons learned for future drops, I did the first time. My biggest oops the first time was not hooking up the engine ground left me scratching my head for hours. The last time I thought I had the clutch fork engaged in the throwout bearing good thing I tried to hook up the clutch first and found it very loose didn't lose much time as a result.

Good going, Mr Puff. My factory manual says to take the engine and transmission out as a unit. Try that next time as I'm sure it has to be a lot easier, and in the end, quicker. You might check out the device that our sponsor sells for removing the engine on a floor jack. I bought one, and it IS easier that what I've done for the past 30 years.

Good Luck!

Do you have a pic of your motor and tranny on the support I was curious how that little thing would balance the whole package, I have been using a ATV kack lately but I will admit it was easier with the floor jack to balance everything. I usually end up pulling the motor by myself as none of my friends are availible to get greasy (none are motorheads or porsche fanatics) but love to ride when I get done.
