Clutch Housing Replacement
All,
I have to replace the clutch housing on my '82 Scrambler with a 258 and T5 transmission (don't ask - stupidity on my part). I've got a few questions. First, in the clutch removal section of the factory manual, it says to remove the transmission as described in the transmission section. The transmission section says to support the engine at the clutch housing when removing the transmission. Then the clutch removal section says to remove the clutch housing after removing the transmission. Is this right? Once the transmission is removed, do I no longer need to support the rear of the engine? If I do need to support the engine, where is the proper place? The oil pan? Or do I need to dig out the engine hoist? Second, what is a used clutch housing going for these days? Finally, is it possible to re-install the transmission and the Dana 300 transfer case as a single unit? I'd rather not break them apart if I don't have to. I'm using a transmission jack that can handle their combined weight. Thanks in advance. -- Michael White "To protect people from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools." -Herbert Spencer, 1891 |

I am thinking 'bell housing', but yes, the oil pan is a good place to
support the engine with a block of wood on top of the jack and the T-case and tranny come out as one piece.

Hi Michael,
The pan sounds like a good place the support the engine to me, unless the exhaust is strong enough to balance it on the mounts. You shouldn't have any problems using a transmission jack. It's just if you have to rock the input spline into engaging with the clutch disk, that an out of balance trans and transfer become a problem.

Even with a tranny jack the transfer case and transmission are heavy and
lopsided. It will want to tip to the driver's (front driveshaft) side.

Real Jeep have their front driveshaft on the RIGHT side.

I agree. I actually prefer to remove the engine to work on clutches.
Much easier in my book. Mike RoyJ wrote: > > Even with a tranny jack the transfer case and transmission are heavy and > lopsided.

All went well, although I did need a second jack to help me rotate the whole
assembly while putting in the bolts. Thanks again! -- Michael White "To protect people from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools." -Herbert Spencer, 1891 L.W.

Cool.
What do you figure, about two weeks for the knuckles to heal?
