You can purchase all of these items at an auto parts store or a hardware store. In addition to a metal pipe plug, use a drill bit or 1/8-inch pipe tap in order to tap the hole. Step 3 - Differential Drain Plug Pipe Tap Use a magnet to make sure that all the metal shavings are removed from the differential housing. As the oil drains, it will take the metal shavings with it. Once the drill breaks through the housing, the oil will begin to drain. Drill at the passenger side at the middle of the bottom of the housing. Who knows, I might have read some of these on your Tech Tips page.Drill a 21/64-inch hole in the bottom of the rear end housing, which is in between the gas tank and the drive shaft. If I was doing another, I might even mount a mirror above the engine where I could see the gap so I could stay under the car while aligning. It's good to get everything aligned before the splines and pilot shaft make contact. You can cut the heads off and use them as alignments studs or just stick them through the holes while you're trying to align to get an extension from the hole to the engine. And the motor mounts won't align well, unless the tail is up where it belongs.Īlso,, if you decide to do it in two stages, from what I've read on the forums, head bolts are the same thread as the transmission bolts. There's no room to get under it to lift it in to place from underneath the car, unless the car is up on some very high jack stands.
I learned that through one of the forums, later, after I spent an hour getting it done from underneath. If you don't have a load leveler, you can lift the tail up through the shifter hole with a rope after it's in. You have to drop it in with the tail down to get it in the hole.
The hardest part for me when when I did mine was getting the tail of the transmission up on to its mount. If you install the engine and transmission as an assembly, make sure that you have madkaw's load leveler.
