I got a 2014 outlander V-6
need to replace the motor (lost oil pressure)
can you remove motor only ?

 

Normally, you pull the motor and tranny as a whole unit, then remove the tranny once out.

 

Any idea why it lost oil pressure?

 

not really ,car has 245,000 km on it , just bought it , went to pass a car going 40 km so I step her down when I pulled in the oil light came on
motor looks like it hasn't been maintain but dealer was doing the services
anyway motor is out , left the transmission it , only hard part was the rear exhaust and you have to unbolt the transfer case for the AWD, I didn't take it out just move it back then the motor will move ahead far enough to clear the trans. case

 

Strange, are u planning to do any disassembly to figure out what happened. Oil pump maybe?

 

I'll take it apart later , need to get it going for now , picked up a motor with 126,000 km

 

Good Find, I saw a 2010 V6 in the junkyard the other day, and considered it.

 

got it back together now another problem , can't win
have oil leaking out the pass. side axle , where it goes into the transfer case , looks like transmission oil , is there a seal that might have got damaged ?

 

It is supposed to be gear oil in the transfer case. Did you have to pull the shafts to move the transfer case?

 

no I didn't remove the shafts , just lossen the mounting bolts and move the case towards the passenger side , that gave me enough room to remove the motor ,
transmission oil is getting into the transfer case some how
