Galford Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Anyone have a good tranmission removal writeup with Pics? I have done some searching but couldnt find much... Pulling the Trans today to do the $160 Slave Cylinder in my AX5. Bastids. ~Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Don't have a writeup, but it's not that involved. -remove the shifter from inside the cab (pull the center console/boot, remove the dust cover on the tranny hump, push down the locking ring in the center of the shift tower and rotate 90 degrees anti-clockwise and it will pop up, then pull the shifter out) -remove front and rear driveshafts -disconnect CPS connector (you can leave the CPS attached to the tranny) -disconnect the wiring harness connector on the passenger side of tranny -disconnect the clutch line -support tranny with jack and remove the four mounting nuts in center of xmemeber -remove xmember nuts (4 per side, use caution on the studs in the framerails...they like to snap off) -pull xmember off (index it so you put it back in the same orientation...it only fits one way) -disco speedo cable, and pop the TC linkage rod off, remove transer case -carefully lower the tranny and remove jack (you may need to lower the tranny with the TC attached to access the upper TC mounting nuts...if you do cap off the tailcone of the TC or stick a spare slip yoke in it to prevent fluid from leaking out....it makes a real mess) -remove bellhousing bolts/nuts, and the two inspection cover nuts/bolts. Top two bell bolts maybe be an external torx head, size E12....but I've noticed 2.5's used regular hex head bolts. You can get a wrench on them before you start anything from above, or else use a bunch of extensions and get them from underneath with the tranny hanging (easier from the top, though) -carefully wiggle tranny back until the input shaft clears the clutch housing, and remove tranny you don't have to remove the starter on a 2.5, because it attaches to the block, not the tranny. Installation is reverse of removal procedure :D Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 hang on buddy. don't put an internal slave back in it. I can send you all the parts you need to convert it to an external slave cylinder, including the slave cylinder itself. your bellhousing is the same, but you need two studs on the right side where the external goes in. then you'd need the throwout plate, throwout bearing, pivot piece, and slave cylinder. just reroute the clutch line to go across to the right hand side of the tranny. interested? (BTW this would be a brand new slave cylinder as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
