removing the awd system from tranny

[driftn1g]

ok so as i was removing the engine i remembered that the awd system is still hooked up to the tranny..

how do i safely remove the front wheel drive so i can pull it?

... what? Are you talking about the Transfer case??

5 bolts on the x-fer case and a dead blow to knock it off, then slip it off the drive shaft yolk and use some mechanics wire(or whatever) to hold up the drive shaft so its not on the ground.

i guess im kind of confused on what is Xfer case and tranny... heres what i think it is.. am i right???

Grab a pry bar, and pry the front drive axels out of the transmission, get the transfer case off (the thing bolted to the transmission under the engine) and it's good to come off. In your second pic, that whole thing is the transmission.

no, transfer case is a separate unit from the tranny, it will be the unit the driveshaft is attached to, kinda to the side and behind the tranny sort of.

[driftn1g]

so its under the tranny? ... where do i pry them off at?? do they just pop back in?

EDIT: Ok so is it a small unit?? im going to take a pic to make sure brb

Here, look at this clutch install walkthrough for reference, maybe it will help you better understand what you need to take off: http://www.vfaq.com/mods/clutch-1G.html

plz buy a manual after this, it's well worth the $20 or so.
