engine removal

kwnate · 06-12-2006, 01:58 AM

Some reinstallation thoughts:

If the car has ABS, LEAVE the harness that runs over the tranny to the passenger side out of the clip on top of the tranny. You will thank yourself on the next BHG replacement...you won't have to drop the tranny down to disconnect it...simply take the harness out of the other clips and pull it down on the passenger side...just enough room to unhook it.

Putting the engine in presents a few other problems as well!

It is 10x easier to pull the engine because the tranny "naturally" follows the tranny tunnel and comes out on it's own angle. However putting it back in, you need to really pry and push that fat tranny's butt back down to get it in the car! You need a helper for this part!

is your supra manual or auto.?
if its manual,make sure you take the clutch fork out before trying to pry out the engine,if u dont it will never come out.
also what i did to make things easyer is disconect the harness at the PCM and out through the firewall hole instead of taking the time of doing every single sensor wire ,specially the ones under the intake manifold...it saves your back..!!
