i bought a terrano for parts a while back and we are about to move so i had to pull finger and get the motor & box out so i can get rid of the rest to the scrap yard. Anyway has anyone ever pulled the motor &box out what a bloody prick of a job took me 5 hours to get the box out and i can tell you i was not happy it wasnt going well. So tommorows mission is to get the motor out and it looks like its gana be a prick aswell. By the look of it i have to drop the diff out any one else been here done that

well i pulled a motor and box out not so long ago,i seperated the 2....pulled both out up the engine bay without taking the diff out

if its gonig as scrap you may aswell cut the front end off...or atleast remove the radiator and cut the rad support out,makes it a shitload easier...

if you have,use a tractor...since body is going to scrappy it wont matter???

i did that and had very minimal damage to firewall caused by gearbox. so it is possible to be nice to it all.

good luck.

yea i have cut the front off it but the sump will not clear the diff this is the worst car ive ever worked on. Im about to go have anouther go at it now so ill try again with it

i couldnt believe it i walked out side pushed the pig out of the garage hooked up the engine crane and it lifted stright out. After the all the trouble i had last night with it. Oh well its off to the scrap yard

Sweeeeet.

Was going to say,it should be a problem.wasnt for me

yea but they are still a prick to work on. I shouldnt complain tho i only paid $200 for the wrec and thats cheap for a good spare 5 speed box and 2.7 deisel motor
