Pulling the engine, tranny go too?

[rogue187]

I just bought a Galant with a bad engine, do I have to pull the manual transmission out with it? Or is there a way to shoehorn out the engine and leave the transmission in the car? Seems there is only a couple inches of space in front of it. Also, is there a fuel pressure release valve on these? Thanks.

Easier to pull them as one unit and put them back as one unit.

I pulled mine with the trans, was a pain, but the easier route to take.

[rogue187]

Thank you, I'll do that then.

to relieve fuel pressure disconnect your fuel pump and crank the motor. it will either start and then die, or never start at all, depending on how long ago you last had the car on. fuel pressure slowly drops to 0psi after you turn off the car, takes a different amount of time for different cars

Great, thank you! I was looking everywhere for that little valve and couldn't find it anywhere, now I know why.

Or you can pull the gas cap to relieve thre pressure.

i think the lines would remain pressurized no? i thought the fuel lines worked independantly of the pressure in the gas tank

I read/was told to do both awhile back. Uncap the fuel tank, and unplug the pump - both relieve pressure. Then try to run crank the car using peano's method.

[seth98esT]

Both work, cranking the car with the pump disconnected works faster. If you dont want to disconnect the pump, you can disconnect the pump relay right above the ECU.

[rogue187]

Thanks for all the input, I'm going to do that, uncap the fuel tank, disconnect the pump and crank it a bit. Much appreciated!

Rogue seems like one of the more intelligent Noobs we've seen! Welcome to the boards, and I hope the engine swap goes well. You might as well read up on Seth and Peano's turbo setups and get the new engine prepped for boozt!!!! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif
