Clutch Housing Replacement
All,
I have to replace the clutch housing on my '82 Scrambler with a 258 and T5
transmission (don't ask - stupidity on my part). I've got a few questions.
First, in the clutch removal section of the factory manual, it says to
remove the transmission as described in the transmission section. The
transmission section says to support the engine at the clutch housing when
removing the transmission. Then the clutch removal section says to remove
the clutch housing after removing the transmission. Is this right? Once
the transmission is removed, do I no longer need to support the rear of the
engine? If I do need to support the engine, where is the proper place?
The oil pan? Or do I need to dig out the engine hoist?
Second, what is a used clutch housing going for these days?
Finally, is it possible to re-install the transmission and the Dana 300
transfer case as a single unit? I'd rather not break them apart if I don't
have to. I'm using a transmission jack that can handle their combined
weight.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Clutch Housing Replacement
I am thinking 'bell housing', but yes, the oil pan is a good place to
support the engine with a block of wood on top of the jack and the
T-case and tranny come out as one piece.

Re: Clutch Housing Replacement
Hi Michael,
The pan sounds like a good place the support the engine to me, unless
the exhaust is strong enough to balance it on the mounts.
You shouldn't have any problems using a transmission jack. It's just if
you have to rock the input spline into engaging with the clutch disk, that
an out of balance trans and transfer become a problem.

Re: Clutch Housing Replacement
Even with a tranny jack the transfer case and transmission are heavy and
lopsided. It will want to tip to the driver's (front driveshaft) side.
