I'm pulling my motor and tranny on my MKIV for a complete single turbo/fuel/clutch install. I have most everything around the motor out of the engine bay including the A/C compressor, PS pump/cooler lines, drive shaft, and all the mounts disconnected from the chassis. What else do I need to worry about before pulling the motor out with the cherry picker?
I hooked the cherry picker up to the hooks on the motor, pulled it up a bit and got the 2 motor mounts out from the chassis... but now it seems to be stuck in there pretty good.
Do I have to take apart the shifter so the top of the tranny will clear on its way out?
I have left some of the sensors plugged in on the motor in hope that there may be a main engine harness disconnect point. Is there such a connector?
Also, where do I disconnect the coolant hoses that would go into the heater core? I assume those are probably keeping the motor from coming out freely.
Any other tips and advice before I go back at it again tomorrow?
Thanks for all the help!!
