I'm getting ready to pull the engine/trans together and am wondering how to disconnect the clutch linkage. That big bar connects to the block on one side and the frame on the other. Is that the stock pedal linkage for a 1981 4 speed? This car has a different engine than it came with so I'm not sure.
How do I disconnect enough to be able to pull the engine/trans out?
Yes its standard, the early tabs were welded on the chassis , later were bolted !
On the chassis end , the tab that is welded (or bolted ) to the chassis , has a slot in it .loosen off the nut there and lift (there should be a small tab bent over the nut to stop it coming loose ) Undo the clutch fork and other links then the big tube will just pull away from the ball stud that's screwed into the block
