Hey all. I just thought i might bore you all with what i did tonite. Needed to remove my engine and gear box from my 1982 subaru to replace clutch and gear box. I started the task after tea around 7pm and managed to have the gear box and motor out in only 4hrs.

Well thats what i been doing. I know some of you will be like " thats slow as man" but i think its good. Ah well just thought i would share something.

Yeah its easier to take out gearbox with the engine than to f around with separating them in the car. Plus i am changing the gear box for another one that i had sitting around cos the current one is a bit f'ed. Yeah i did the whole thing myself and with a few beers lol. yeah had to remove front cv joints, tail shaft. I have removed the engine a few times in my paddock bomb so i had bit experience on this type of vehicle. would make life easier if i had a hoist. just used car stands and an engine crane. bit slower but does the job.

from engine running to gtr box out in 1 hour by myself, thats with no hoist and only axle stands and a jack to assist :P

gtr engine running and out in around 4 hours by myself as well

done box around 20 times now and engine about 10-12 times i think so gets easier the more u do it lol :laugh:

i know what bolt sizes are on every damn part of the engine and box, its pretty disturbing :)

lol nice work guys. yeah i dont think i would be strong enough to try and take gear box out from under and put it back in. hard to manipulate it in tight spaces. yeah i knew what alot of sizes where on my car. mostly 10,12,14,17.

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

      Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...

      But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.

      That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
