I have a 1986 973 I bought several years ago that had a bad rod bearing I unloaded it and everything worked good except the bad knock of course. I finally got around to putting a new engine in it last week started it and it is making a terrible squealing noise like metal on metal. Pulled the engine out far enough to not be in the transmission started it again no noise. I went ahead and pulled the engine went through the pump drive gears and engine coupler found nothing. My question is can I pull the bell housing section off the transmission without 100 springs bearings and shims falling out. I can’t find a picture of the underneath of that online. Thanks for any help or suggestions you have.
