Need help, transmission questions

Cowartd · January 18th, 2012, 10:54 AM

I have Mac longtubes on my car. I have a manual, I'm replacing my
Clutch,pilot and throw out bearing. I've read you have to remove the passenger header, but how can you do that if you have to drop the K to get clearance? I anyone has any tips or has done this id be more than great full for your help. Thank you!

Drop the K, take the header off, bolt K back up, place motor mount nuts, remove tranny, replace clutch, pilot and t/o bearing, bolt tranny back in, drop K, put header back on, and put K back up, then install suspension pieces. Then the jobs done!

I don't mean to thread jack, but the PO installed long tubes and a MAC Prochamber on my car. Is it safe to assume the longtubes are mac as well? Or is could they be any brand?

I'm gonna be replacing my clutch very soon is why I am asking.

From what I have heard, any longtube header (long tube is a design, not a manufacturere Chris) will require the removal of the RH header to drop the trans out. OP, this thread would probably get more responses if it were titled something like "Long Tube Header Install Help". Lots of guys have done this and it seems like kindof a pain in the ass for maintenance purposes. That being said, if my car hadn't come with shorties, I'd probably do longtubes as well.

oh, i feel like i have heard that there is a brand or 2 that has a fitment that enabels you to be able to drop the tranny withough removing the headers.

NickPohlAandP · January 18th, 2012, 01:06 PM

There might be, but I don't know anyone who has them.

I believe Kooks & American Racing are the ones....but I wouldn't take that to the bank.

I could see Kooks being more user friendly. For the price of them you'd think they'd install themselves for you.

Well would seeing how I have a mac Prochamber mean that I would also have to have mac longtubes?

One might assume, but I have no idea.

I wasnt sure if any brand could bolt up to that particular mid pipe, or if only mac longtubes could bolt up to a mac Prochamber.
