d16z6 to d15b swap questions

By orangeEG
- Thu Oct 27, 2011 4:28 am #279225 is it a direct swap?, I found a d15b at the scap yard for $100 and scooped it up as a replacement motor while I build my z6 or b16

last question: what is the proper way of removing an axle out of the tranny?, just pull it out or is there a special way?, also how do I reinstall?, just push back in bolt the boot down and pump full of grease?

any helps great

but it had a sticker on the valve cover saying "if sticker is removed it will void warranty date: 22/03/10... so I pulled that off so he would not see the date, could be a good sign :hehe:

any help with my axle question?
