Drop the tranny. I replaced a clutch on an '89 Ford 4*4. There is a lot less to undo & do-up on a tranny. Just get some help & a few jacks, drop the drive shaft, and then drop the tranny. Line up your new clutch and use 3 or 4 jacks to raise your tranny evenly twist the shaft till she lines up, give her a shove and bang, put your tranny bolts in, drive shaft, you're on the road or mud. FYI, it will take about a day. ~Shade tree

How do you change a track rod on a espace?

If its the inner one they are only about £15 each but getting the locking washers off Renault proved to be awkward, change the outers at the same time its easier than struggling to unscrew an old rusted on one.BUT and this is a big BUT, your can only change them by dropping the front subframe first and removing the complete rack. Yes it is a big job but possible to do in a weekend. If its the outer one its fairly simple and by carefully marking and measuring before you remove the old one you wont be to far out when you refit the new one.


There are 2 ways of removing an alternator from a 3.3 L 93 Caravan either from the top by removing the alternator bracket or by dropping the alternator straight down pass the manifold which is easier?

Remove it from the top. But first remove the bracket that holds it in place. That will give you enough clearance to get it out. I'm a retired ASE Master/L-1 Technician. I still keep current with the latest automotive technology.
