hello,

I am taking apart a 951S and I am now at the part where I lower the engine and transaxle to the ground and remove the chasis.

what bolts exactly are holding the transaxle and gearbox to the chasis?

it looks like this at the moment:

following the write up on clarks garage is a great place to start to remove the transaxle.

6 or 8 bolts.


do it CAREFULLY.
and if youre parting this car, how much for the IC?

I undoed the bolts in red circles, and another two on bridge that isn't on this photo.. are there bolts that holds it up where I draw a questionmarks?

The tranmission cross member is missing in that picture. There are 4 bolts that bolt the transmission cross member to the body of the car.

You do not need to remove the bolts with a question mark unless you are removing the entire drivetrain as a whole assembly.

There are 4 bolts that attach the tranny to the body, and at least 4 that connect it to the torque tube. Other than those you need to remove the axles and CVs, 6 bolts each side. and then there is a collar that connects the input shaft of the tranny to the driveshaft, which can be loosened through one of the holes in the tranny bellhousing.

I do. I want to get engine, transaxle and the whole rear assembly off the car in one peace like this:

What is a Cheese head tool?

RMills944

a triple-square looking head on it... VW uses them too.

you can pull the four trans crossmember bolts which also holds the fuel filter- or you can pull the two bolts that hold the trans to the upper mount. Other than that your looking good. The ones w/ the question marks hold the brake lines- youll need to cut/disconnect the lines.

So is that a Torx then?

J Silverman

It looks sort of like a torx with 12 points.

So if I go to a tool sears are they going to know what a cheese head is?
