Driver's axle how to write up from someone else

i doubt you'll have space to do this if the trans was still there

Well I'm glad I found this thread. Just my $0.02 this should be in the how-to section up front or stickied.

My clutch is slipping and need to change it.... a week after I spent nearly a grand to replace my timing belt and alternator.

Hopefully this will help save me some money.

Great write up, awesome pictures, and thank you very much.

Wow you dug this up Hahah Now that's using the search button any questions post in here

Just a few.

I'm doing the job this Sunday provided that my clutch arrives on time.

How bad did your car spill its guts in your garage/driveway? I'm trying not to completely stain the driveway so I'll be putting a tarp down, but I would like to know what to prepare for. Typical oil change (a little drip here and there), or like... an anti-freeze change where its ganna get all over the place?

Only other real question is a combo.... how long did the job take you all together start to finish? How many people did you have help or were you flying solo? Which part took the longest? How much of a bitch were the axles?


Thank you for the info. Yea I searched because I couldn't believe there wasn't a sticky or anything on something as typical to do on our cars as change our a clutch. Should be right next to the drum-disk brake conversion how-to as far as I'm concerned.

Again thanks for offering to help out, I'm sure we'll run into something on the way that will have us scratching our heads.

I've never done a clutch but axles are easy. It took me longer messing with the carrier bearing(i think) on the passenger axle than to actually change it out.

I've got another question as we're nearing game time....

And let me know if you'd rather have these here or in a pm.

Did you have a difficult time getting the tranny off? I was told by a family member who just changed the tranny on his truck that I'd need a gun and a torch in order to loosen the bolts on the tranny, is this accurate?

I know that it'll depend on how old the car is, weather in the area and so on, but did you have trouble with this?

Also what are the torque specs on it?

First time i had the tranny out the bolts came out easy with a cordless snap-on electric impact gun and went in with that same gun.

1 1/2 later doing the tranny drop in this post i only used 1/2in drive rachet with a breaker bar with some good effort to get them off.
Take not that I live near the ocean and i never did clean the engine bay are (top of bottom)
Having any Pnuematic tool on had is always a plus whether you need it or not.

I dont remember the torque specs i did but i do know it was hand tightened at first then a couple weeks later i re-torqued to the specs in the book. I would say no tighter than 60 should be good. IMO you dont wanna over tighten in that area.

What top two bolts are you referring to here? Would you happen to have pics to show us?

(I have to swap out a tranny right away here and want as much research under my belt as possible before I start... hence the "back from the dead" thread)

he's talking about the strut bolts

this is a good thread, good pics. thumbs up!!!!

You mean these bolts?
