Quick question about removing tranny.

[Failure14]

R154
7MGTE

I removed the engine with the tranny still connected,
i took out all the surrounding bolts including starter, do you
normally have to pry it off? i started too a little but wasn't sure so i came
on here and looked on J seamens guide and the way he described it was
right when he took of all the surrounding bolts it just dropped.

Did you remove the clutch fork?

Did you remove the clutch fork?

Ahh that would explain alot, Where exactly is it?
I've looked on the TSRM but it doesn't really show it too well.
On Jseamens guide he was removing an auto and i totally forgot about it.

No prob, It's in the 4th pic down. It would make it alittle easier to unbolt the pressure plate too. Hope this helps.

Gahh idk what to do lol... I took the cover off and tried undoing that bolt but it just turns the whole plate, and when
i try to reach in there to grab the clutch fork or whatever, i cant pull it, ive tried pulling other things but nothing budges inside...?

Any tips or tricks lol?

There should be two little metal tabs that 'lock' the fork in place, try pressing those down to slide it out. Don't mess them up though.

It would be difficult to mess them up unless you pry with a screwdriver, but I don't put anything passed the folks on this forum. The reason I say don't mess them up, is because if you do, the fork will have a hard time staying in place- and you don't want that

Hmm ok, well i got both clutch housing covers off, and i see i guess the clutch fork, if i push it in, oil squirts out the little hole next to the hatch part,
i didnt know it would do that and it squirted right in my face but owell, anyways do i just reach both hands 1 on each side and pull it out torwards my block or
do i have to pry it like you said above just a little? the TSRM explains nothing, just saids undo the hatch covers and pull out the clutch fork =[

I tried that, didnt work?


EDIT: So i went and tried pulling it towards me and that didnt work, it didnt even nudge, as i look
in there i see 2 nuts holding it down im assuming? but theres no way and ill i beable to get a wrench in
there im pretty sure.

There is a "c" clip holding the pin in on the clutch fork. Remove the clip and push the pin out and it will slide right out.

edit: Or you can remove the pressure plate.

There is nothing difficult about this.

- Unbolt the clutch slave
- Remove the inspection plate
- Reach in and grab the fork
- Pull
- Wriggle a bit if you have to
- The fork will come out
- Slide transmission toward rear of car
- Remember to remove the shifter from the top first.

I Always put some visegrips on the fork for extra easy removal, it comes straight out of the plates that you took off.

If you where able to see it off of the car, the fork would be pointing in between 4 and 5 o'clock, pull in that same direction and it will slide right out.

It is if you have no clue about what a clutch fork looks like,
and i already removed the motor with the tranny as i stated in my
aforementioned post but i appreciate the response

Ok so ive tried all the different methods here except the presssure plate...

Some of you say just grab and pull, then others say theres a pin and clip you gotta remove
then others say just push the tabs and it slides out...

Heres a picture, is this the pin you guys are talking about?

Take the slave off first.

Take the slave off first.

It is off, the clutch fork is really wiggly but that pin still isn't coming out, idk
how hard i have to pry though...

I tried grabbing it with some vise grips and just wiggling and pulling but
it goes no where, and i dont see anything that looks like tabs =/

 

[Warpath]

^this. I should have told you that first. I assumed you had done that. The slave has the fork in a bind. Taking off the slave will relieve the pressure on the fork and will allow you to pull it out.

Sorry about that,

Lol yea its ok, but i got the slave off now, and that thing still isn't coming out although
its super loose...?

Grab and wiggle is what ive been doing for the last 20mins and nothing is happening?

the tabs are the metal half hooks that the "pin" fits in.

Well if you unbolt the pressure plate from the flywheel you'll be able to seperate the trans from the engine easier. Then you can get the trans on a bench to work the fork.

Ok i got the clutch fork out! yayy.
I feel like an idiot though...

Anyways do i wanna start prying my transmission
off the block now? or is there something else i have to do?
