I recently pulled the transfer case while doing the clutch. Having a hell of a time trying to get it back in there. Does anyone have any tips? Do I have to lower the subframe?

Thanks and

 

Its a ***** to get back in. I had to slide my through the top but then again my head and turbo are removed.

 

Not really entertaining the idea of removing the header and turbo..I'm thinking I can remove the transmission mount on the subframe and pivot the motor forward.. Or just remove the oil pan! Lol. Have you heard of either methods working? I don't know how the sucker came out.

Oh and it appears I pinched the metal ACD line coming from the transfer case bung bolt. I can't seem to find the part# hopefully I can find something to suffice..

 

Try this.

 

Hey thanks man I think that should do the trick!

Do you happen to know if that line coming out of the transfer case is supposed to be bent??

 

Yes! Thanks again! It was the key, however I also had to remove the bolt through the tranny mount to allow the engine to kind of pivot and rotate forward as well as move.

 

removing the head is faster than thinking about it and starting a thread and waiting for answers.

 

orly?

 

yes really

 

Far more involved than removing a motor mount.
