I friend a friend that is pulling an 02 s2000 swap. The problem is he can not get the transmission off the motor...Is there any tricks?? Maybe something that you can't see real easy? I'm at work so I can't see whats going on but its out and they have an inch gap in the bell housing and motor and said it will not go any more. Let me know. thanks.

 

use a service manual

 

Did he already lower the subframe and get the top bolts? I bet he is missing the starter bolt that goes through and threads into the tranmission. You have to get it from the front side towards the rear of the car (lean over driverside fender) with a long extension a 14mm socket.


EDIT: Did he take the fork out where it slides into the release bearing? Slave cylinder is pushed against this fork.

 

Thanks. I'll tell him, but he had to of got them because he said he had a 1 inche gap.

 

get it resolved?

 

Yeah, just had to move the clutch lever bad and forth...it was suck... Thanks.
