Zf Gearbox Removal From Bf Typhoon

[k31th]

yes, you undo/loosen the transmission mount and then jack the engine from the front of the oil pan with something that'll give a little between the jack and the sump (soft wood etc). Nah, the engine mounts themselves allow a bit of rotation, so don't need to be loosened.

Drop the trans mount, this will automatically lift the front of the engine and lower the rear of the trans, long extension bars (x2) and uni joint,19mm shallow socket and take it up from the trans mount area and up towards the top of the bellhousing, rattle gun or ratchet and away you go. 

 

Now you HAVE TO undo the torque converter bolts FIRST, this is done by taking out the starter motor, using a mirror ( if doing this without a hoist ) and undoing the x4 bolts 

 

once you’ve undone the torque converter bolts then tackle the bell housing bolts, then pry the trans away gently from the engine block... making sure the whole time the converter is being pushed back into the transmission ( through the starter motor hole ) the whole time as you want the converter to stay in the transmission as you lower the transmission down from the transmission tunnel. 

 

It will all make sense as you're doing it
