transfer box

[nismo-400R]

[SIZE=+0]gonna take the gearbox off 2moz to do my clutch,leavein engine in tho,just wanna know can i still leave the transfer box in aswell and just take box off?[/SIZE]

 

[pulsarboby]

just unbolt transfer box from g/box and pull it out

 

[simpulsar]

you would be better off droping the engine and box together m8. i done my clutch in mine and tried to take the box off without droping the engine and i couldnt do it had to drop the engine aswel. ive gotta take my gearbox out again cos ive blown it up and would definatly drop the 2 together it would be alot easier

 

[pulsarboby]

your right it is easier in the longrun, but can be done in situ if needs be

 

[nismo-400R]

sumone told me that the transfer box has to come aswell becoz of the spline

 

[pulsarboby]

why? it has to come off spline whether engine is in or out, providing you drop gearbox mounts it can be done, ive done it!

 

[nismo-400R]

done it 2day and i just dropped the engine and box 2gether,does the y bracket have to go back in?

 

[pulsarboby]

no mate, leave the nasty critter off! there a bl00dy pain in the ass

 

[nismo-400R]

lol you got that right mate you cant see anythin with that bloody thing in the way

Sorry to bulge in. Is this the Y bracket under the inlet manifold you are talking about ?

 

[nismo-400R]

yeh thats the one fella,if you do anythin to your car this bracket just gets in the way,mines stayin off

 

[Trip]

Tell me about it, tried to remove some wires from the starter motor the other and failed. It will help for weight saving too

There is another bracket on the passenger side just below the inlet hole, can that be removed too ?

 

[Trip]

Blue is the Y bracket.

Can i remove the green bracket ??

 

[nismo-400R]

i think its best just to remove the y bracket,best to leave the other on to give the inlet some support,i could be wrong,any1 back me up?also when puttin the gearbox and tranny box back on the block do you have to use some sealant?

Nope, cos i binned that one too ;-) :lol:

also when puttin the gearbox and tranny box back on the block do you have to use some sealant?

To seal what exactly :lol: No you dont ;-) Did you put sealant around the oil seal where the shaft comes out of the transferbox before you bolted it back to the gearbox?

 

[nismo-400R]

i havnt bolted it back 2gether yet,do you have to put sealant around it?

 

[MarkTurbo]

Its best to, just put a bead of gasket sealant around it ;-)

Its easier than putting it all back together then finding you've got gear oil leaking out between the gearbox and transferbox :doh: Ive never done it but i know somebody that has :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[nismo-400R]

thanx for lettin me know mate

,where did you put the earth wire that comes off the bracket?its not the y bracket its the other one you have binned theres a wire on the side of it,can you earth it anywhere?coz ill leave that off 2

 

[pulsarboby]

put a longer bit of wire on it, and take it to any good earth point, think i used one of the points where recirc valve was bolted

 

[nismo-400R]

do you know where to get a braided clutch hose from?
