Project Clean 89

[honestabe]

Oh. It has a bar that stretches out at the front that has a wheel on each side. I'll take a better pic tomorrow.

I thought on that. So old block is gone.. Keeping any parts??

 

[northwestsupra]

i gots tons of 7mgte parts if your looking for any

 

[honestabe]

The motor is still sitting where you see it attached to the tranny. I gotta figure out how to remove the clutch fork so I can separate the motor from the tranny. What parts I don't need I'm selling. But I don't know what I don't need right now. Won't know until the motor goes in. Trevor, I doubt I'll need anything. I'll be picking up a spare 7MGE for parts.

Un bolt pressure plate to get trans away from engine. Should just pull away tho. Fork should pull right out

 

[honestabe]

Ok, thanks bro. I know nothing about 7MGE's or W58's.

 

[Mk3runner]

basically pull trans bolts and pull apart.. The shifter fork is held in by a spring. But that's optional. Just bolts and pull. It might be a bitch but yank and it should slip loose

 

[honestabe]

Ok, thanks bro. I'll get to it in a few days. Damn homework

 

[Mk3runner]

school ehh. I was in college for awhile, wasn't for me. Got some good books outta it tho.

 

[honestabe]

I'll have my Associates in business management in August.

The motor and tranny are separated, just had to do a little prying. Tomorrow comes degreasing.

Got a pressure washer? If not, load it up in the back of your truck and head to the local car wash. Even if you do have a pressure washer, all that grit and grime is better left at the car wash instead of your drive. Car wash cleaning seems to work real well for engine / trannys.

I don't have a pressure washer nor a truck. I'll degrease the hard way, with lots of disposable shop towels (the blue ones that are made by Scott).

:aigo: I tried that once with degreaser and shop towels, my fingers were numb for a couple days after. OUCH! :cry: Might try a drill with a wire wheel on the end. Pull it next to an area you can hang a trash bag on so the debris doesn't go everywhere. :icon_bigg

Adam! What happened?!?

My crank pulley (the dampener part) exploded on my in Kent 2 blocks away from my friends house. I got towed home. Me and the fiance decided that now isn't the time to have a 2nd Supra. Pics of the carnage will be up later in my build thread for the 87.
