Engine Install(2G)

[97GSXAWD]

1030 til now isn't that bad when i was trying to get my tranny back in my lancer after doing a clutch I spent the better part of 3 days trying to get it back in. I'd say if your having that hard of a time you may want to drop the tranny back down double check the clutch alignment then try again. I would make sure that all the bolts line up perfectly or damn near before I even started to try and thread anyhting in. Good luck with the work

So you went against what we recommended and installed only the engine first and now your putting the tranny in after? Well if you like doing things the hard way, more power to you...


Yea something is probably not lining up and it could be the clutch. Jiggle it around an push it in harder.

haha yah that because last night i wanted to put it in and my friends ran off so I had no help to get it put on. But now i know that it would have probably been easier. but its to late now so lesson learned. ALSO another thing, i heard that doing a 1g in a 2g you need to cut off the weight on the tranny so the radiator hose can go by. true?

[slowbubblecar]

I have never heard that before. What weight on the tranny? There should be no problem with the radiator hose. Did you connect everything up before putting the tranny in?

He's talking about the counter weight on the shift shaft. I had to remove mine too. It was rubbing the lower radiator hose. So I just took it off.

I got it installed. Had a couple buddies help me out. It just didnt want to line up properly. Does the counter weight just come off or do you have to cut it off? If you cut it how far up do you cut it? and pics? Thanks!

You can cut it off near the base, search tuners for pics...very simple to do. Otherwise you run into clearance issues with the lower radiator hose.

Ok so just cut it off. No I ran into ANOTHER problem, The power steering belt is to short. I have the 2G PS pump, all 2G pulleys, all 2G mounting for PS, and a 2G belt. I have tried everything, but the belt wont go on. Is there something else I should do? Or do I need 1G stuff?

[blageo23]

Does anyone know about this power steering thing? I need to get this car running soon. My winter beeter is falling apart.

[blageo23]

Anyone?
