2006 Sedona Engine Removal
Hello,
I have a 2006 Kia Sedona EX with a bad engine ( 6 cyl ). It seems to sound like it has spun a piston bearing because it runs, but it knocks. I can not find a book ( Haynes or Chilton ) for this vehicle. If anyone knows where I can get a book for this I would appreciate it. Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the engine without separating it from the transmission ? I have the front bumper off and the radiator and the cross member and it almost looks like I would be able to remove the motor mounts, and separate the engine from the transmission and slide it 3 inches toward the passenger side and get it out, but I'd like some confirmation from either the book or an expert before I attempt to do that. Thanks in advance for your responses ! |

Re: 2006 Sedona Engine Removal
I am sorry, what I meant to say in my first statement but I think I conveyed is that I want to remove the engine and leave the transmission in place. I do NOT want to remove the transmission at all. I'm sorry for that confusion, but I think you understood.
This is an automatic transmission. I appreciate the advice. I would like to see an actual service repair book though. Does anyone know where I can get one ?? I think that a lot of the service manuals online are scams, as I've bought "service" manuals that ended up being just operator manuals. I would really like to hear from a Kia mechanic, someone who actually has removed the engine from a 2006 Kia Sedona. All I'm looking for is affirmation and positive confirmation that the engine can be removed without taking out the transmission. |

Re: 2006 Sedona Engine Removal
Remember you have to support the transmission if leaving in the car.

Re: 2006 Sedona Engine Removal
As is turns out, I was able to remove the engine without removing either the transmission or either of the axle 1/2 shafts.
While supporting the engine, I removed the top motor mount that attached to the engine, and the hold bracket on the firewall side of the motor, of course all the bolts connecting the engine to the transmission, the intake, exhaust at the flanges, and all the lines and connectors, and then it could lift out. We set the new one in with the intake still attached, but it scraped a little bit on the top going in. If anyone knows the torque specification for the engine to transmission bolts, that would be very useful and appreciated. In this case the transmission has a body/frame mount on each side right at the bell housing, so it remained fully supported. Last edited by squarethumps; 04-06-2014 at 07:30 PM. Reason: oh ya .. |
