KaiserRolls Posted May 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 15 minutes ago, SteelBlue said: I am able to get the nuts off of it. But it seems like it's impossible to actually get it out or in without it pinching on the trans or the trans tunnel. Only way I was able to get my broken one out was ripping the dowel out of it and just mashing it out. Maybe I'm taking the wrong approach, but I would be very interested to hear your technique as this is one of my last things to do. My though was disconnecting the trans brace and loosening the motor mounts in hopes of being able to nudge it over just enough to get it in. I did not have trans bushings in at the time, but did not touch the solid mounts, I removed it with the line still attached. Just kind of maneuvered it out and let it hang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted May 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 This weekend I got around to doing the detent service on the zf. Thanks to @m42b32 for the trans tools rental. It’s pretty easy to do, most annoying part was when I had a snap ring fuck-off into a low earth orbit and bounce off the evo/Miata/garage door. Found it after a few minutes luckily.

KaiserRolls Posted May 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Mobile is a real dick with putting text where I want without having to go in and edit the post so here’s the difference between the old 5th gear detent and the new 5th gear detent.

KaiserRolls Posted May 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Also they totally revised the pins on the top of the trans and added a coated bushing/sleeve instead of having the detent ride in a machined bore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted May 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 None of my pins were frozen in the bores, but I figured I’d knock this out while the trans was out. A few definitely showed signs of wear though. Overall pretty easy to do and hoping it wasn’t pointless. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 I didn’t remove the firewall insulation. Had I done this one simple trick we would not be seeing the engine out of the car. Blame me for all the pain and suffering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up tilting and pulling the motor enough to where I could get to the hardware on the back of the block. Then slipped the trans off. So it doesn’t necessarily need to come all the way out, but reinstalling with the engine dangling would be quite annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted June 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 With autox events passing me by like crazy I really need to wrap this up. Mtx-L shows up today, fluids and other jazz Friday, already have shifter, have all the necessary sensors now and distribution blocks for oil psi/temp. I’m running out of things to order and my excuse list is getting shorter.
