As ERA Charles and Patrick said , you do NOT need to pull the motor on the ERA . The tranny does need to come out ..... I`ve done this before . Take the seats out and then the tunnel and you can pull the tranny out . I take mine out through the driver`s side door with an engine hoist . Support the rear of the engine and raise it slightly to get to the bell housing bolts , yes , it`s tight , but can be done . lower the rear of the engine some to get the clutch and flywheel off . If you get the car high enough , you`ll have no problem using a torque wrench under there .
For me , it`s a whole lot easier doing it this way .
As far as the CVR starter ,I`ve had no luck with them and also broken the pinion shaft ... went with a RobbMc starter and it fits perfectly ... and all three bolts line up instead of two like the CVR unit .
