No. There was almost nothing coming out. Use some rag (through them outside after) and cap the line with a tape baggies. Do removed the fuel pump fuse/DME relay in case you reconnect the battery and turn the ignition on for some reason while the engine is still out.

At the engine

Tha'ts what I thought.

I wonder why you would disconnect at the pedal and go through the trouble of pulling the long cable through the tunnel.:confused:

Is it easy to undo from the engine? I have not looked yet.

Easy enough... Its a press fit (pry off with a wide flat screwdriver).

About 18" from the tunnel wall.

Off to the 8 hrs in the garage saturday routine :D:):D

Thanks JJ, I'll check into that when I get a chance this afternoon.

List of things to do.
I already have the half shafts removed during the bearing change.

1. Remove the a/c compressor and move to the side quarter panel. DONE
2. Undo the big oil filter oil line fitting on the pass side. DONE
3. Undo the transmission shifter DONE
4. Unwire the starter and ground to chassis DONE
5. Undo the second oil line hose on pass side DONE
6. undo the accelerator cable (debating whether at the pedal or at the engine) DONE, at the engine + one clip in transmission
7. remove HE hoses DONE
8. remove the slave cylinder from the bell housing and move out of the way DONE
9. remove sway bar DONE

2 more items to do and it's ready to drop.

Got the starter ground cable off and as well as the solenoid wires. It was still tough to get to the terminals even with the car on lift.

2 more items to go on top of engine. Everything under are done.

Starter ground cable.

As you are on a lift, are you aware about the dropping angle for the "gear shift rod" to clear the tunnel?

I underestimated that when I did mind so it took a little longer than anticipated.

I am not sure what exactly you were referring to as the dropping angle for the gear shift rod.

I already had the shift rod disconnected from the transaxle. I moved the shifter to 3rd gear so it will be separated from the tranny. Is there anything else to worry about before I drop the engine? Let me know. Thanks.

Ok So you are just droping the engine not the engine & transmission as one unit?

Sorry if I was not clear. I am dropping the engine and transmission together.

Isn't your "transmission rod" (disconnected from the shifter) still inside the tunnel or does it clear the tunnel as you will drop straight down?

When I drop the engine and tranny, the tranny end shift rod will clear, so I don't see any obstruction. I should be good.

Let me think...

I guess that there is a difference between a 915 and a G50 configuration as mine was inside the tunnel before the drop.

Oh, that explains it. I thought you had done a 964 engine drop. Thanks for clarifying. I should be good to go then.
I plan to drop the engine next weekend though because the hydraulic table is not available until next Saturday.

Almost there
 

Hey bazar01,
It's great to see your progress. I am being encouraged. Thank you!

I have disconnected the shift rod and sway bar this afternoon and will work on the slave cylinder later. A slight problem here, I cannot put enough torque on to the two 13mm nut on the slave so I have decided to disconnect the rubber hose fitting from the hard hydraulic line. It's now lubed with PB Blaster. Also removed the ground cable from starter but wondering if there is an individual ground strap from the tranny like a 914.

BW :)

My fault... I'm subscribe to about a dozen of "engine drop" and I lost track of who is who in the Zoo :D:):D

Good luck next week-end and in a few weeks it might look like this;

I see you do have experience on an engine drop. :D;):rolleyes: I'm learning allot following this thread. It bolsters my confidence just seeing the procedures. Thanks for the detail and information. Keep it coming... :eek::eek:

Sam

Actually this is my first one :eek::D:eek: Never own a sport car, never did any mechanical stuff either but thanks to the PP forum and the members, in 2009 I realized a 45 years old dream when I acquire Das Babe.

If you intend to do one, do subscribe as many Drop Engine post as you come across.

'JJ 911SC' - I'm learning more about the 964. Only owned it since 2009, have a Bosxter since 2005. PP has done wonders for my confidence and I explore more and more with my car. Members like 'Bubbling well' and 'bazar01' who document their DIY's, (especially with pictures) assist with the learning curve and definitely adds confidence.

Thanks to sharing. SmileWavy
