tech71 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Well, yes. there are different methods to remove an engine : Engine from top with trans still attached Engine from top with trans previously removed. Engine, subframe and trans from bottom. They all require disconnecting the hose between the clutch master and slave cylinder or you can remove the cylinder, leave it connected and let it hang.

If memory serves, you don't need to disconnect it if the transmission stays in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Self Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 2 hours ago, Hans said: If memory serves, you don't need to disconnect it if the transmission stays in the car. True statement...however, make sure the tranny has some support at its front end once you pull the engine, so there's no undue stress put on the flex hose that connects the clutch M/C with the slave. That hose isn't meant to support the tranny's weight, only to pass fluid... mike 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterCS Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 That is a special car. I have a 74 2002 and a 82 315 Baur. I get to Ottawa occasionally. I have a daughter and her family there but there are currently posted in Kenya. just bought a 2018 m240 from Otto’s. Fabulous! peterCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
