Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - couple ?'s about engine and tranny removal

93vrfd_houston · 02-22-2010, 09:58 PM

hello all, i am trying to determine what if any special tools will be needed for the removal of the engine and trans. i have convienced my retired father into tackling some installations for me while i am overseas, so i can come home to a complete or almost complete project.

the most important thing for me right now is to provide him with everthing that he will need to do the work correctly. i have never removed either before in an rx7 and don't have the knowledge of what tools will be necessary.

does anyone have experience on which manuel to by for this job? should i purchase an original shop manuel from mazda or should i buy a chilton or off brand?

he will be installing a new tranny with an aftermarket clutch and flywheel and all bearings as well.

any assistance would be greatly appreciated, i know a lot of this info is available on the net but he is an old timer and doesn't have great computer skills. i want to get him everything he will need so he will have as lil questions as possible.

thanks, mark

forgot to mention the details..........95 r2, mostly stock engine wise, simplified sequentials but bnrs are going in.
