i got a 22,000 sq ft garage and kustoms shop to work out of thats abuddies...now this is the first tranny drop i have done and have some questions on a few things...hopefully someone can help me out..this is a LS swapped Hatch...b18a1 tranny and motor..with B1 cams and Intake mani..

First?

What is the easist and best way to drop it out? drop the pass motor mount and drop from underneath?? If there is a thread on this or someone has a tutorial on the fastest easiest way i would appreciate it.

Second?

when doin the alighnment tool ..what are the kep points to make sure to do or look for??

Like i said i am kinda new to putting a clutch in...only one i have done is Ls?vtec with b16 Tranny and i didn't have to replace ...so all the help u can over is much appreciate and if its great help i can provide free signiture graphics....ty

 

I've been there many times, it can be a bit tight in the EF chassis. Just unbolt everything, remove axles, wires to starter etc and drop it through the bottom. Just make sure that your axles seat properly when your putting it all back together. PM me if you have any questions or get stuck on something.

 

yeah my buddy just txtd me and told me remove wheels and axeles harnesses then starter then remove the passenger side and reaer motor mounts and drop threw the bootm and then replace....and reverse order..yeah i know to make sure axles are set and clips are back in...i'll try to take some pics for the process..and post them so i can see if i dont anything wrong...now i got another question if u can help...whats the best way to adjust the clutch cable....cause before i had to hold it to the floor for a smooth shift...i dont wanna have to go threw a full motion...cause this car is for racing...fully gutted and all that

 

I agree I just dropped mine for the first time last week toomk me about 4 hours to drop just being safe, and an hour to out back in lol.

i pulled the tranny mount,pulled the starter and dropped it right out the passenger side. I had an issue at first because i thought i had all the mounting bolts out but here are 2 on the other side of the black on the front and back of the motor then it was butter.

 

^ I did something about the same on my first clutch swap, I didn't remove the starter and the trans would not come off, took me 20 min. of rage to figure that out lol....

 

starter bolt the long one still goes into the black im thinking lol

 

When adjusting the clutch cable just make sure there's about 1" of play in the pedal before it disengages the clutch, too tight of a clutch cable will cause abnormal clutch wear and failure. Make sure you re-grease all contact points in trans with wheel bearing grease ****NOT CLUTCH DISC, PRESSURE PLATE FACE OR FLY WHEEL****, lol obviously. But moderatly grease clutch fork and other contact areas.
