Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Dowel pin retainer

[jeff2]

the dowel pin can be held in using a small bracket underneath

a front cover bolt beside the pin

I also have a scope to go in the front cover and look at it

in a matter of just a few minutes.

Sounds like the tab method.

Someone else here tried a bore scope with no success, couldn't get past the gears. You must have to drill a hole in the cover.



Why even fool with scoping it when anyone who can change their own oil can do the jig fix in an hour basically for free?

I agree how would you get to the tab with a bore scope,without drilling in the case?

this thing can be tabbed in 2 hours easy. i helped a guy do his the other day.

 

[wernergerman]

how tabbed?

Please explain me too how can it be tabbed. I am in northern Europe,have no chance to get a jig from the States.

Am interested in alternative fixing methods.

TIA. Werner
