I mated the tranny and the engine back tonight... mind you I only seperated them like 3 weeks ago, when they were seperated, everything fit fine...
now, 1 out of the 2 studs on the bottom seems too short (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) WTF?! the tranny seems flush with the engine, but the stud is only BARELY poking through the hole, not out far enough to even get a bolt on(even with no washer)! a washer BARELY fits... here's a pic... what the hell?!

Did you take off the clutch?
If so did you align it when putting it back together? |

yes, the tranny is a dirty mother fucker... I've tried engine brite, simple green, abd B-12 and it's just not coming off well... I'll attack again today with some brake cleaner, power purple, and ??? it sat behind a tired 1.7 with a bad seal before I got it. the engine is clean, but the tranny is so dirty, it's guilty by association.
I did take the clutch off but I did use the alignment tool I'll take more pics but the thing that throws me off is this... the other 3 bolts are RIGHT... they had plenty of thread, even the other stud at the bottom... |

hi wayne,
place a shitload of newspaper underneath your tranny and spray the shit out of it with brake cleaner....I went through 20 cans of the stuff (should have bought it by the case) I also used a tooth brush and other small vinyl brushes to get the 32 years of gunk off of the motor and tranny...it worked great...wear a mask and some goggles, that crap is toxic! good luck Joe (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flag.gif) |

Why not just soak it with simple green and take it to a pressure wash place? That's what I did with mine and it worked great...
Just make sure you plug the vent, drain and refill with your lube of choice... |

I got it MUCH cleaner...
the trick is in the combo... I sprayed foamy engine brite, let that set a sec, followed by power purple, folloed by brake cleaner... it is 100 times better, still not perfect though... good enough for me though.... that one stud is STILL being a PITA... the other stud will allow the bolt on about 1/2 way... the top ones are fine. pics follow Attached image(s) |
