MR2 mk1 engine removal

Post by lion_yo »

Hi,

I am having trouble in taking the engine out of my 1988 MR2 MK1.

All the mounts,pipes,gear linkages,exhaust,driveshaft are off but it seems like the engine is getting stuck somewhere dont know if i should remove the exhaust manifold and the injection system (TVIS)?

Where abouts are you? Stick your location in the profile, someone maybe local to lend a hand. :thumleft:

Are the gear linkages tied out of the way? I've found they have a tendancy to re-engage themselves. :oops:

Clutch slave cylinder bracket is also a good one for getting itself tangled. :lol:
