  • Cant get the oil pan loose....

    cleared everything out of the way, unbolted the 3 bolts on both motor mounts, unbolted the oil pan, jacked the engine up on the driver side mount (tried jacking from the bellhousing with no luck) and it seems like its just catching the bottom edge of the bellhousing. The Kmember doesnt help either.

    Any suggestions would be great!

    The oil pan galley gasket will snag on the oil pick up tube so on the passenger side , you'll need to unbolt the oil pick up tube and the pan should come down if thats where it is catching, its hard plastic so its pretty strong. Good luck.

      I dont think its the oil pickup tube. the pan is about 1.5" dropped from the block, like I said, its just chatching the bottom of the bellhousing.

      I hope I dont have to start pulling and tugging at the pan, I dont want to break it.

      Any other ideas would be great. Thanks

        I finanlly got the thing off last night. What I did was unbolt both motor mount and trans mount. I jacked up the driver side engine mount until basically the intake manifold was hitting the cowl. I then took another jack and jacked up the tail end of the trans. The jack spot is easy to indentify as it is the lowest point on the trans, right before the trans mount I think. Anyways, I jacked that up about 1" and it gave me enough clearance to pull the pan out.

        In the process, I think I destroyed my oil level sensor because the thing is bent and there were plastic pieces on the bottom of the pan that looked like it was from the sensor.
