BLittle500 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Any experienced guys have any tips on doing this (this is the pancaked bastard)? I have to replace manifold bolts and the down pipe, just curious if the trans really has to be dropped or if I can just finnagle that bastard out of there. Thanks again guys, Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Amacker Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I should know this and CRS is kicking in. I'm thinking we dropped the tranny crossmember, but I'm not really sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseldoc Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 they are a real communist bastard to get out. I have only removed the down pipe when I had the trans out to install a solid flywheel/clutch kit. Once I had the pipe out I installed a round down pipe. I dont know that there is enough room to get it out with the trans in without cutting it. If you are able to get it out in one piece with the trans in let us know how. I tried for about two hours one time to get the pipe out without removing the trans, at that point I was so pissed off that I just pulled the trans, they come out fairly quickly. GOOD LUCK!!!
