haha....takes me 30 minutes in and out. use your brains kids. take the g/box mount off. having someone who can 'tilt' the engine for you is handy. basically, feed the rear of the box over the c/member, rotate the gearbox a little (clockwise from memory), get someone to tilt the motor if need be and slide forwards.........simple. |

ive done it afew times now and its a prick of a job. its alot easier if you can get a helper. The way i do it is: Remove the rear mount completely and have the gear stick out with a rag in the hole. (sorry to state the obvious) Then i put the rear of the box in over the cross member as far as i can get it with the front of the box pointing towards the driver side wheel. Then with alot of cursing and twisting and trying different angles etc, the box slips in. This can take abit of time to get it to work so 2 people makes it easier to share the work. It can also help sometimes to have someone pull on the front of the motor as it will be hanging back abit on the mounts. Then its just a matter of sliding in onto the clutch (which you have already made sure is lined up with the flywheel etc). Its handy to have a length of wood or something to help hold the box up. I dont know if all Sierras have it but mine has a spacer plate thing that goes between the motor and gear box. Dont do what i did and forget about it till the end and have to separate everything to make it fit! Thats how ive got it to work. Tell me how ya go! |

hi, Where in Ipswich are you? Transfer case takes 0.8Ltr of oil according to manual. Hey give me a call I can offer some advice on getting Gearbox in or out a bit quicker. David 0409060004 |

The first time I did a clutch it took me ages then I worked out it is all in the rotation of the box You spin it around on it's side.
