Got a bit more done today, cleaned the clutch/torque converter housing and replaced the two oil seals and "o" ring. Also managed to get some grease into the release bearing. The box is ready to go onto the engine but all the tinware is away being bead blasted and powder coated so waiting o...

Took a trip up the M6 today to get my sporto box sorted by Mike Bainbridge. Thanks to Mikes expertise it is now sorted and ive learned alot about the box. It would seem a circlip had come off and the reverse shaft had gone past the point of no return. I can't thank you enough Mike, cheers mate. Some...

Removed the torque converter and clutch carrier today, and found that the clutch was well and truly stuck to the pressure plate and also stuck to the other side. So thats two good reasons for removing the box. http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab97/myatt1972/engine%20removal/clutch.jpg [/img] http:...

I dont know why the vacuum tank is so big, the clutch will work half a dozen times after the engine is turned off. All the vacuum hoses need replacing, when I tried to remove them they fell apart.

Had a great afternoon working on the 911, have dropped the engine and box out so that I can take the box to Mike Bainbridge. Was quite painless getting the engine out, all went very smoothly. I made a little trolley that made things easier. http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab97/myatt1972/engine%20...

Hmmmm 3.6 ???
Stop it, stop it now!

Thanks James,
Thought it looked a bit tricky with the engine in.

Thanks very much guys, this is exactly what I was after.
I think I'm going to be quite busy for the next few evenings.

Im removing the engine from my 73 911 so that the gearbox can be repaired, while I have the engine out what else should I be doing?
Anything that is easier/only possible with the engine out.
Cheers,
