#1 of 4 Need help removing 00 intrigue 3.5L, please! by gilgamesh Nov 07, 2008 (7:23 pm)
For the last two day's me and my father have been struggling to replace the motor in my 2000 intrigue and nothing seems to be going are way. Right now it seems as though we have everything removed, all the cables, motor mounts, and pipes and just five minutes ago we tried lifting it out of the car and it didn't go anywhere, it took the car with it. So now were both lost and don't have a clue what to do next.   So my question is does anyone have any big problems getting this engine out (there's not much room to work with) and what could I be missing?   Another thing is when we looked at the other engine that were putting in, we noticed an extra bolt hole way down on the right, but for some reason it doesn't have any threads and we can't seem to see it or find it anywhere in the car, so could there be a bolt in that and could that be what's keeping the engine from coming out?   Anyone else with a similar experience?

#2 of 4 Olds 3.5L Engine Removal by danman99 Oct 26, 2009 (1:30 pm)
I'm trying to remove a 3.5L engine from a 99 Olds Intrigue. Having trouble separating it from the transmission. ALL bolts are out; and the half-shaft is removed on the passenger side. Am I missing something?? Replies to this message: 99intrigue00 (Nov 05, 2009 1:03 pm)

Replying to: gilgamesh (Nov 07, 2008 7:23 pm) http://99intrigue.shutterfly.com/engineremoval   The factory procedure is to drop it with the subframe. I didn't have a lift so I did a hybrid - dropped the subframe but lifted from above. You have to disconnect the steering to do that. Not for the faint of heart.

Replying to: danman99 (Oct 26, 2009 1:30 pm) Ok, I looked again at my pics and forgot one tip. Did you remove the engine to transmission bolt on the backside of the engine? Check out the pics from number 11 to 17.
