This past week, I assisted with the removal of the VW engine from the van. The process took our entire team to accomplish due to the shape of the engine. We used an engine crane to support the engine from above and a car jack to support the transmission/transaxle unit. Below is the engine removed from the engine.
I began the process of detaching the transmission and transaxle from the engine. I started with the transmission. Once all the nuts were removed, I needed a prybar to pull the transmission off it's mount on the transaxle. Below is the transaxle with the transmission removed. I had to be careful to keep track of the metal O-ring that fits between the two. It's not fixed to anything and hangs loose.
Below is the detached transmission. Surprisingly heavy for it's size.
This week I also changed the ignition coil on the Zetec. I ruined the original screws when removing the old coil because of rust buildup and had to replace them. Here is the new coil fitted on it's mounting.
