Engine & Transmission Removal No.4

No I didn't miss one....Engine & Transmission Removal No.3 occurred in the end of the Clutch post. I am starting to lose track of the Removals and Installs, so I thought I would do a quick summary of each one. Maybe someone can learn from these, and avoid having the same issues I have had.


Interesting the first install took about 4 hours. The first removal took 1 hour 18 mins. After that I have been averaging 42 - 45 mins for both although the engine is bare. I expect it to be somewhere up to 3 hours to install or remove once the car is completed.

• Install first time
• Removal number 1 for modification to bell housing for new starter motor
• Install 2nd time
• Removal number 2 to fix sump leak
• Install 3rd time
• Removal 3 for clutch leak and needing to reset the CSC preload
• Install 4th time
• Removal number 4 to retrieve and replace the burst clutch hose from within the bell housing

The last removal was a world record of 1 min and 11 secs and I took a video of it!
