tools; e-torx and input shaft
 
I'm in the process of swapping out the 4.0 motor is my '95 XJ.
(motor is from a '94). Before I go out and buy the wrenches that
don't accommodate my fastener need I will ask if any of you have knowledge.
Of the fasteners that hold the motor to the bell housing, I've so far found
(I think) (2) 18mm thru bolts and the very bottom, 11/16ths (or thereabouts)
upwards and others. I see there is a couple of e-torx on each side slightly
more than halfway up. Anyone know the size of these? Home Depot sells a set of four box rachets: E20 / E24; E14 / E13; E10 / E12 and E8 x E6.

Secondly, my trans is a 5-speed stick shift. I know I will need the correct
splined input shaft dummy to align the pressure plate / clutch. I once
bought a plastic one when changing motors on my Willys CJ2A. Anyone
know a source for a stub/dummy input shaft for the XJs. I have not yet
removed the motor to count the number of splines.
Thanks in advance. David Bruski Michigan

Your installing new clutch kit seeing motors coming out correct....It will have one in the kit. E 12 should be correct size.

Yep should be one in the kit, I put so many damn clutches in my last XJ I could do it in my sleep.

Replace those E12 with normal bolts. Someone at the factory had a good laugh using those things, im sure. Just evil.
