Engine pulling help needed

icey756 · 02-05-2012, 05:12 AM

Ok so me and a friend are trying to get my 7mgte out of my 88 supra and we just can seem to do it. I know this subject has been beat to death but nothing seems to be working. I read that we should remove the clutch fork but i honestly dont understand how that would help in any way. Pulling the trans with the motor is not an option. please help.

how is pulling pulling trans. and engine not an option??

its a major pain in the ass to pull the motor on its own, especially those two trans bolts behind the head.

all you need to do to take your trans with you is, remove shifter, remove drive shaft, unbolt trans mount, disconnect tach cable and possible sensor...

as for taking the engine on its own, im not sure what your asking?? disconnect everything... and pull it out... if its not coming out, you havnt done everything yet...

Cause the picker i have is only able to lift half a ton. My resources are limited. i have to extend the arm all the way to get over the engine so thats why taking the trans with ISNT an option. Everything looks disconnected cause its about maybe 1/2 inch to an inch away from the trans. I read two or three forums that say to remove the clutch fork but i dont understand how that would even help. I tried getting the e clip off but its such a pita.

And if your talking about any of the 6 or 8 bolts that actually connect the bell housing tot he engine were easy. the ones behind the head took maybe 5 mines for the both of them

take off your hood, makes it easier. and your engine with trans should weigh in under 500 lbs that is under a 1/4 ton...

hoods the first thing i took off. And i already told u its not an option. i dont have a very good jack and im using on of my jack stands on my other car. Do u have any info on the clutch fork? cause if not then ur not really helping if your going to tell me over and over to just pull the trans. Im pulling the engine to grind the rust off and paint it. The trans is just going to get in the way.

i am not certain about the 7mgte turbo trans. but on the w58 the fork is attached to the bellhousing and does not need to be removed.
