240zBoy Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I have been trying to remove the driveshaft to get the motor and transmission out but the differential crossmember is really in the way and makes it really a bugger to get out. Plus the bolts have never been moved so they are on there good. I have noticed it is only connected in the back and looks to slide out of the transmission when bolts are undone. So here is my question... If I am to pull the motor and transmission while they are connected will the driveshaft slide out of the transmission or does that not work. I am just trying to avoid getting those bolts out as long as posssible before I replace it with an r200 for the v8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240zBoy Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 FOR REAL so those 4 bolts do not need to be touched if I am taking the motor and transmission out!!!!! and the shaft will just fall to the floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandyZ Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 soak the nuts/threads with pb blaster a couple days before trying to remove them. Yes, the shaft slides right out of the tailpiece of the tranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CArFAn Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Yes, as well as all the trans fluid if you don't drain it or plug it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zBoy Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Okay thanks a lot. That makes me much happier because it takes quite some work to get that differential down so I was hoping to do that another time and that seemed the only way to get the darn bolts off. I actually completely forgot about the fluid so my floor says thanks hahahaha. I Love This Website:trippen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
