Any suggestions much appreciated 1. Unbolt and remove exhaust 2. Remove heatshielding and remove driveshaft 3. Drain clutch line 4. Remove Slave cylinder 5. Remove electrics from gearbox 6. Get a jack under gearbox to take its weight and start unbolting it from bellhousing side first 7. Take off rubber mounts 8. Let it drop on the ground 9. Beer break 10 Jack new gearbox into place 11. Bolt up 12. Put exhaust, driveshaft, slave cylinder etc all back together Cheers Mitchell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 you dont need to do steps 4 and 5, the slave can come out with the gearbox, and there are no electrics to you gearbox (well you need to unplug the reverse switch on the side mind you). only other tip i can say is to use three jacks, one to jack up the front of the engine (off the sump, put a block of wood between the engine and jack) just enough to not lift the car but tip the engine. Must be done after the rear gearbox mounts are undone. The other two use front and rear of the gearbox, they are uneven weight. GL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
