I cannot get the top left bell housing bolt out because i cannot get to it. it i about 1/4 inch off the body. this is will be the seventh time i have taken the clutch out on this car. i have never run into this problem before what i think has happened is when i installed the new kmember it moved the motor back. so far i have tried pulling down the bell housing to put some angle down on it cannot move it. Next i have tried to jack the front of the motor up to put angle on with the poly mounts the car moves up but the motors stay the same. I tried to come down from the top also to no avail. right now i am debating lowing the kmember out of the car or as a last alternative cutting a hole throught the floor. does any one have any sugestions.

 

Tilt the motor back as far as you can. Use a LONG extension with one (or two) "wobblers" (U-joints).

any sugestion on how to get the motor to angle more?

 

Not sure on a '94, but my '95 has the oil pressure sending unit mounted on the back of the intake manifold. This not only interferes with tilting the motor back, but it's easy to break the sending unit. Try removing it.

 

I used1/4 inch tools. 6-8 inch warrble extension,u-joint connector and shaved the walls of an old socket to get that bolt out. It took a bit of doing but it did come out. After that I beat the tunnel area in with a hammer to get more clearence for later clutch episodes. That trick paid off.
Didn't have to fudge with engine position at all.

 

I used a floor jack and a 2x4 positioned under the front crank snout to gently tilt the motor backwards. This gave me the clearance I needed to get to that bolt.

 

I had my friend Jerry (350lbs) haul on the tranny extension housing!

Stick a crowbar in between the bellhousing and tunnel and give yourself a little more room to work with. Might have to get it from the top if that doesn't work.

Or hook me up w/ an '04 Ram P/U and I'll get it out for ya!

 

did not get a chance to work on it. It will probbaly will be sunday. i going to hammer in the floor for sure when i get it out. The oil pressusre sender is not hititng. I have broken that off before.
