The hardest part about pulling the tranny is putting it back in... Tranny with
no OD weighs around 60lbs, with OD around 100lbs and it is very awkward to get
into position and mated to the engine. There seems to be no device that can
help with this process so it is brute force, snatch and heave. Very manly
activity though. Removing the engine and tranny as a unit takes longer but is
overall less stressful and more deterministic and it facilitates all those
other little projects that you have been putting off.
Does that sleeve need the crank to be reground or does it just slide over the
rear seal surface ?

Al,
This is when shipwrights can enter the equation! Pull the engine and tranny as
a unit and you can do all sorts of winter projects on both! From what I've
heard, the hardest part of pulling the tranny by itself is getting the starter
off. Having said that.............at VTR in Valley Forge this summer, a guy
swapped out his tranny in the parking lot!

Its time to replace the clutch on the TR6; I almost got run over trying to
accelerate onto I-85 today.
Its probably got about 2 weeks left in it before it totally quits.
The Luk kit came a few days ago. Now I am waiting on a Speedie Sleeve to put
on the rear crank.
Any tips on pulling the trannie. How difficult is it to lift out? I remember
some talk about using some dowels to line it up on the install.
Thanks
Al
