When dropping the tranny do you guys put a block of wood with a jack under the oil pan on the motor? Will it dent the pan? Since I don't have a engine hoist. Thanks for any help you can give.

 

no shouldn't dent the pan..i let my motor sit on the oil pan for like a week while i was getting my car ready for the swap...

 

if you drop it you have a good chance of breakin more than the pan haha

you should be fine, you will notice that when you have it out and free you can pick it up by yourself with ease... i dont think it will dent it

 

not to hijsck your thread, but i need to change out my clutch and i have never done this without takeing the motor out. whats the best way to change my clutch out while leaving the motor in?

 

Thanks guys! My friend and I are changing my clutch right now so thanks

nextelbuddy, you can drop the tranny and leave the motor in. this is my first clutch change but I'm getting help. Also a helms manual is the best investment I've made. Peace. Aloha.
