I'm going to remove the tranny in my '88 16v this week in
preparation for a clutch job. I've got a couple of questions before I
start.
- Which components, not directly involved in the procedure,
should be removed. I thought it might help to remove the left hand side
suspension to make the area easier to work in. Is this a good/bad
idea?
- Does the engine have to be at TDC to remove the
tranny?
- The clutch cable (self-adjusting) looks tricky to
remove. What is the best way to do it?
- What are the hardest fasteners to get at/remove? Any
good tricks gained for experience that can be passed on would be
appreciated.
- Any special tools required for the job that I may not know
about (VW specific)?
