DaveSupTT Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Okay guys, I have a couple of questions for you, hopefully some one can give me some advise. I have actually posted this question up in my other thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=158179 but not had any response as of yet (granted the post hasnt been there long but I want to try crack on with it while the weather is good) Here we go! Q1. One of the last things I need to disconnect before removing the engine is the drive shaft. The explanation in the manual requires use of various SST and infers some special set up when re-installed to ensure proper alignment. If anyone has removed the prop shaft can you give me the benefit of your experience. Q2. Once i've removed the engine with transmission intact, can I still use the bell housing to locate and fix the unit to the engine mount or do I have to disconnect the transmission from the engine block first? I think this will be the case but if someone could verify and give their input i'd appreciate it. Regards Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has removed the prop shaft can you give me the benefit of your experience. It might imply it but it couldn't infer anything. No special tools needed. I believe it's good form to mark the rotational position of the rear coupling so you put it back together in the same position - I can't see making any odds really but it's easy enough to do so you might as wel.

DaveSupTT Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Cheers Jake. By Unit I was reffering to the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
