Yes you need to remove the subframe to remove the gearbox on elantra. the motor must be supported at the top before u remove the subframe.
Remove the Subframe. Subframe should be removed but it can be done by lowering Subframe down. I recommend removing the Subframe. Do not pry in oil pan with a screwdriver, get a rubber mallet, it is glued in place.
No but, you may want to loosen the main bolts that hold the subframe in place and allow the rear of the subframe to hang down a couple inches. Been there.
yes you do.
u have to remove the subframe ball joints and sterring rack its bolted to the subframe remove the entire subframe frm car so the it sits on the engine mounts with car propped up so u can acess the gearbox and disconnect the gear linkage
Support the engine and transaxle from above using a support bar. Raise the vehicle on a hoist lift. Remove the front lower control arms and swaybar bushings from the subframe. Support the subframe with tall jackstands. Unbolt the engine and trans mounts from the subframe. Remove and clips or brackets for such things as oil coolers or wiring attached to the subframe. Remove the susbframe mounting bolts, then lower the subframe from the car. Reverse the procedure. Get a wheel alignment. Be sure to tell whoever is doing it that you replaced the subframe as this information is critical for the alignment to come out the way it should.
no remove the horn alternator will come through side of subframe
No but I'm also looking for a front subframe for my L series theses cars are terrible for them apparently.
U have to remove the subframe from the vehicle.
Remove with gearbox and suspension. Split off theengine from the subframe and gearbox. A northstar engine in an eldorado or Seville can be removed in four hrs.
By far the easiest way to answer this is to advise that you get the haynes manual for your model Astra. The subframe will need to be dropped to remove the gearbox.
can't be done without dropping subframe
