Guide How To Remove/Install Tranny and LSD or Disassemble Gears

You'll need to drop the whole thing. For the clutch actuator, the bolts go through the middle of it.

for example...

Thanks. The driver side axel/shaft will not come out, like its not even loose.

Any hints? I took off ball joint and the 2 strut bolts to try to free it and it wont budge

pry bar and a mallet.

 

[Prodigy]

yep, a pry bar identical to this one will take it out with no effort.

so is loctite "required" for the clutch and flywheel bolts? or is it more of a precaution thing?

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

you should loctite all of those bolts.

 

[lowpro35]

is it necessary to replace the pilot bearing?

 

[lowpro35]

I cant get the axle back in. Its almost in where I can kinda put one of the top bolts in, but the bottom near the axle wont go in far enough to wear i can get the bolt down there to go in. It like stops at a certain point.

Anytips on getting the tranny to go farther on the axle?

 

[Prodigy]

You can either, push harder.
or

Remove the axle, compress the retaining ring that goes inside the trans so that it sits more flush, then slide the axle back in.
You'll feel it click when the axle is back in place.

Do I need to turn the axle so to get it aligned?

yes.

If installing a new fidanza flywheel on the msp, is there any sort of counter weight that needs to be bolted on the flywheel? I'm hoping not.

 

[Prodigy]

nope.

 

[lowpro35]

nope.

Good because I already put it back together hahhaha

So the whole instrument cluster doesn't work, and I cant find where the sensor in the front of tranny (i think neutral saftey) Plugs into haha. Any ideas?

 

[A louie]

Anyone?

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

Anyone?

basically if i can't find a sensor plug, i just grab the plug, and try and stretch it in any direction to see where the other end might be.

but one sensor is on the top of the trans, one is on the back. both are pretty visable with the airbox/tubes out.

as far as your cluster. i'm not sure why that doesn't work unless you popped a fuse for it. idk why you would take the cluster out..if you took it out, chances are the plugs aren't in tight.


and if you're talking about your speedometer not working, well, you got the wrong trans.
