buddah Posted July 7, 2012 Report Posted July 7, 2012 hey just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on the easiest way to remove an automatic trans from an ae93 seca. cheers Quote
Boosted Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Just get in there and start undoing bolts ? Or for an even easier way, take it to a mechanic and pay them to do it. Otherwise you'll probably need an engine support bar. Rip off a whole bunch of pieces, hang the engine on the support bar, remove the engine support crossmember and then drop the LHS mount, so that you can pivot the trans below the chassis rail and pull the gearbox straight off. Easy to type, but a real prick to do, especially without a hoist and a fair bit of muscle. If you're trying to do it in your driveway, you're going to need to jack it up a fair way, to be able to get the gearbox out. May even have to release the right hand side mount. And if you've gone that far, depending on your tools, might be easier to forget the engine support bar and hang it all off an engine crane and drop it on the floor, or take the bonnet off and lift it out thru the top, if your engine crane is serious enough/has enough lift. Fairly open ended question that you're asking. Quote
carbonboy Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Do you want to put a gearbox back & have it as a functional vehicle or are you taking the 'box from the car for use elsewhere? Quote
Subaru_kid Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Undo bolts, mounts, driveshafts, selectors and wires. Lift or drop out of car. simple. Putting it back together is the hard part :lol: Edited July 20, 2012 by Subaru_kid Quote
