how to remove your tranny (MANUAL) 5sfe, great info if you need to replace your clutch Options

[chacha]

in my case, im replacing a clutch because im slipping.

ill come back to clean this better, but the tools are:

12mm-19mm sockets needed with a Strong breaker bar and a "Y" horse shoe to help pry open the axle from the driver side.

Two jack stands for the car

2-3 hydro jacks needed; one support the engine, one support the tranny

Cherry picker can ease the lowering of the tranny...

Things to move out of the way:

0. Remove all under panels and cross bar member with the front and rear engine mounts off. (Take off the Down pipe connected to the exhaust manifold too for ease)

1. Driver and Passenger side axles. (tie rod and suspension strut will have to come out for ease of taking axles out)

2. radiator so you can move more freely; as well as the upper and lower radiator tube

3. unplug the sensors on the tranny....i believe there are only two on my GT 2.2L 5sfe

4. Remove the pins from the shifting links...(there are 2)

5. remove the Clutch Cylinder slave (there should be two bolts holding it; DO NOT REMOVE THE ACTUATOR LINES CONNECTED TO THE SLAVE UNIT); follow this to the side of the tranny there is a bolt also holding the clutch fluid line (remove that instead of taking off the line; easier to remove bracket with line on it by taking off the bolt)

6. SAVE the engine mount bolt (there should be 3 holding to the metal bracket on the transmission) for last...do not remove the bolt in the middle of the driver side engine mount


here are the location of the bolts... 11 of them total: **HINT: make sure engine and tranny are evenly balance and then remove the 3 bolts on the driver side engine mount, then WRIGGLE that darn thing left and right to get it out.

OEM VS NEW CLUTCH


NEW Spec clutch stage 3+ (got it cheap for $150 shipped; so i invested, more than enough for my DD, but it was cheap and figured i try it, stage 1 was $250 already not including ship):






OLD:










in working progress....will update later. off to the store low on cash

I really thought taking this tranny out was going to be a simple task if i get everything out of the way, but it seems a lot harder than i thought it would be. THANKS you guys...i really did try, it is a pain in the butt...i think i did get all the bolts...how many are there exactly? i struggled wiggling it, but no luck, the bottom of the tranny crack open a little bit, but no luck...gotta get up in the morning to try again. it's getting dark and sprinkling rain drops here and there with wind blowing.

what pics or angle of the pics do you guys need, better yet, does anyone have the complete manual for servicing for the 5sfe engine?

thanks again for responding.
