MicroMachinery Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Not sitting correct...Something is not right. With out the tranny it's going to lean back. Are the mounts twisting because you tightened them with the engine in that wack position? It may be that valve cover that's throwing you off.. those particular valve covers never sit quite right. From the oil pan view, it looks to be sitting correctly. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Could be.. but it looks like the hood won't even fit. Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Not sitting correct...Something is not right. With out the tranny it's going to lean back. Are the mounts twisting because you tightened them with the engine in that wack position? I tightened them when the engine was in. It was held up by the cherry picker then i tightened them. I'm aware that valve cover is gonna be a clearance issues but I just want to figure out why the engine isn't sitting correctly. i used l16 oil pan and mounts and nos engine mounts...

DatMo Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 How do I remove the bellhousing? I removed the bolts but can't seem to remove it? Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Why are you trying to remove the bellhousing? The transmission case splits in half; it's not a Chevy. Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Why are you trying to remove the bellhousing? The transmission case splits in half; it's not a Chevy.I'm saying how do I split it to change the bearing lol Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 It's a bitch. Even done correctly the case can be very hard to split. Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 It's a bitch. Even done correctly the case can be very hard to split.I gave up because the bearing sounds fine.I just wanted some preventative maintenance but I'll be fine for awhile. Quote Link to comment

Janksun Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 how does the t3 tranny mount work? Mine has two bolts on the tranny but the t3 mount is a center hole? here's some pics. You need one from a z car. Rock auto has them for cheap. Also when did you get that t3 bracket? I bought one a while back and it was a bad batch. Same black wrinkle coating. The new one they sent me has a gray powder finish. 1975 NISSAN 260Z 2.6L L6 : Transmission-Manual : Transmission Mount DEA Part # A2741 $11.88 2 Quote Link to comment
