I’m removing the motor but the input shaft is still in the motor instead of staying in the transmission what do I do?
I have the motor separated from the transmission but I can't fully drop the motor because the input shaft is in the motor and not the transmission and I'm not sure what to do
My car has a manual transmission.
My car has a manual transmission.
Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :
Hi there. The input shaft is stuck in the pilot bearing on the engine or the back of the crankshaft. If the input shaft came completely off, then you will have to use a slide hammer to remove the input shaft from the engine and then reinstall it into the transmission. If the input shaft is attached to the transmission but the transmission will not come off the engine, then you will have to remove the bolts to the clutch with the transmission mounted and then the engine could be removed. This would be that the input shaft would be stuck in the clutch. You may have to use a torch to heat up the input shaft to remove the clutch from it. If you need further assistance with your transmission input shaft being stuck in the back of the engine, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.

The clutchless manual transmission uses various sensors to monitor the engine speed as well as the position on the gear lever and automatically engages the clutch when needed. According to Kia Motors, the system is “Clutch-less” which means without the clutch-pedal.
The clutch disc transmits engine torque directly to the input shaft of the transmission.
(automotive) A manual transmission or a sequential manual gearbox without a manually-operated clutch (i.e., with an automatic clutch) system; used in both automobiles and motorcycles (i.e., mechanically the same as a conventional manual transmission, but lacks a physical clutch pedal).
Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) system use E-Clutch (Electronic Clutch) technology. Using the E-Clutch, the vehicle can cut engine drive off without pressing the clutch pedal by driver. The E-Clutch is controlled by an actuator that assists the driver in changing gear.
Power enters the transmission through the input shaft. The input shaft is connected to the engine via the clutch, such that when the clutch is engaged, power goes straight from the engine to the input shaft of the transmission, and the crankshaft and input shaft rotate at the same speed.
In most manual transmission vehicles it is possible to shift gears without use of the clutch. This is done by matching the engine output RPM with the rotational speed of the vehicle`s transmission output.
The power to run a vehicle starts in the crankshaft. It is then delivered to the clutch, via the flywheel (in a manual transmission), or to a torque-converter (in an automatic). Power then goes to the transmission, where it is redirected to the drive shaft (also called prop shaft, driveline or propeller shaft).
When the clutch is not in operation, the disc spring in the clutch automatically presses the clutch disc against the flywheel via the pressure plate. This establishes a positive connection, allowing the engine torque to be transmitted to the gearbox.
Clutch less up-shifting allows for faster shifts, often time smoother shifts. The main reason why often time clutch less downshifts are not good, particularly on the track, is due to engine braking.
Better fuel efficiency — Overall, manual transmission engines are less complex, weigh less, and have more gears than automatics.
iMTs essentially are manual gear-shift cars with an automatic clutch, and therefore, on paper, have better mileage than manual cars. Nonetheless, fuel-efficiency of iMTs still depends largely on driving style and how frequently drivers` are able to change gears at the ideal RPMs.
There are two basic types of manual transmissions. The sliding-gear type and the constant-mesh design.
The input shaft connects to the engine, via the clutch. The countershaft is constantly meshed with the input shaft and has multiple gears. The output shaft connects the countershaft to the driveshaft and eventually the wheels.
Better Acceleration- Modern automatics have better acceleration than manual transmissions. By using the best computers, automatics change gears faster than a human can. Automatic transmissions can propel the car faster than a manual can.
Manual with clutch is generally faster. But whichever you feel more comfortable with and get more enjoyment from is the best choice.
Top speed is limited to 65 mph (105 km/h).
The main difference between a five speed and six speed transmission is how they handle overdrive. On the highway where it`s reasonable to drive at speeds around 65 miles per hour, overdrive gears help save fuel. The engine doesn`t need to work as hard to maintain speed. That extra sixth gear is even more efficient.
Originally Answered: Can I put a engine that came from a manual car into my car which is auto just need to swap motored? Yes. But you`ll probably need a new flywheel and bellhousing swap. It`s a relatively costly venture unless you can do it yourself.
Before turning the car on, locate the clutch. The clutch must be pressed down when shifting gears! Practice pressing and releasing the clutch pedal with your left foot. You will begin to feel (in your foot) when the clutch is engaged or disengaged.
Clutchless shifting essentially gives you the same performance benefits as a quick shift device will, but it`s a manual technique instead of a convenient tool that you install. Unfortunately, this technique isn`t easy to learn, so it takes careful practice for those who want to perfect it.
The gears determine the amount of power available from the engine. First gear provides the most pulling power but the least potential for speed, whilst fifth gear which provides the least pulling power allows the greatest range of speed.
Dry Clutches
The purpose of a dry clutch is the same as a wet clutch. The only difference between the two types of clutches is that the dry ones aren`t covered in oil. Without the oil, the clutch can`t stay as cool, which causes dry clutches to be noisier and wear out more quickly.
Quick shifters should not cause any damage to the gearbox because it cut the fuel and/or spark during the shift time which makes the shifting easier on the transmission with no loading during that split second shift change.

Does the motor have to be removed to install the motor and transmission mount
ANSWER : No, the motor does not need to be removed. The engine does need to be lifted a little to take pressure off of the mounts in order to remove them.
Are the motor mounts touched during a tune up? When are the motor mounts touched?
ANSWER : There is nothing in a basic tune up that would require loosening or touching the motor mounts. If the motor mounts are in fact loose, they could potentially cause damage to the axles if the motor were to shift enough while driving; however, this would take time and there would have been a very distinct vibration and clunk that you would have very likely noticed while driving. I would recommend having a certified technician, such as one from YourMechanic, come take a look at the car to properly diagnose and repair your motor mount problem.
Car has CVT transmission, can’t afford to replace, can I just replace the entire motor with a used one with different trans?
ANSWER : Hello. If you wanted to replace the motor and transmission, you would have other problems like the wire harnesses and ECM modules among other problems to do the swap correctly. You may be better off replacing the transmission with a remanufactured one. A job like this would be expensive either way, so you may also want to consider whether you want to invest more money in this car or whether you should start looking at other options.
Front end bearing or trans-axle noise. Hear a grinding noise noticeable above 15 mph. exists going straight, turning right/left.
ANSWER : Hello. To answer your question, the best way to remove the axles it by disconnecting the ball joints. The noise you are hearing can be coming from a bearing, an axle or from the transmission. I usually check the bearings first and then remove the axles and check the joints for any binding. If the axles and the bearings are fine then this is a transmission issue. Most of the time it is a bearing problem. If you do not find the problem I would get some help from a certified mechanic, like one from YourMechanic, that can come to you to [diagnose why it is making this grinding noise] https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/car-is-making-a-noise-inspection
Transfer case shift motor
ANSWER : Hello. C0327 is the trouble code for a malfunction with the transfer case encoder motor as you alluded. This is the electric motor that allows the transfer case to engage into 4wd mode. This code is commonly caused by water contaminating the control module. I would recommend having the transfer case control module carefully examined for any signs of water intrusion. If the module checks out, I would then move on to inspecting the transfer case motor itself, for any faults. If you need help having this diagnosed, a professional from YourMechanic can come to your car’s location to inspect the shifting issue and let you know what needs repair.
What’s wrong with my manual Jeep if I’m driving at 5th gear but it sounds like I’m driving at 3rd or 4th?

The engine may have an imbalance causing the problem. There is a technical bulletin that may pertain to this vehicle and call for engine replacement. The TSB is 09-008-16 and is dated June 16, 2016.
2013 Ford Focus Transmission Issue. Is it worth keeping the car?
ANSWER : Hi There,
This is a known issue in this generation Ford Focus and some Fiestas with the "Power Shift" transmission and there have been numerous recalls and lawsuits. Although, it is would be difficult to determine how much longer your transmission will last given the fact that you have many new parts, I would not recommend junking the car as it may still provide some valuable life left for you. I would recommend taking it to the dealer to see if these parts may be covered under the recall.
