3gdean Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 easy (if you've done any gearbox before) having a couple of jack makes life easier than struggling with one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 It's pretty straight forward to be fair. Airbox out starter out. shafts out. Slave cylinder off. Unplug anything connected vss and reverse light. Torque mount off. Flywheel cover off. Get a jack under engine with a board to spread the load. Whip all the bolts out undo side mount and lower it down and pull off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesvti Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Thanks, let's make a start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesvti Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Got so far, just stuck on the gear linkage box end, seems to be a pin holding it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gdean Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 that pin is a pain in the arse!! i just un do it at the shifter side, 12mm nut and bolt, still have the linkage attached but not that awkward unless you plan on moving the box miles away from the car.

jamesvti Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Ah that'll do, thanks 3gdean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesvti Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 when popping the shafts, do you undo the lower arm? or top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I undo bottom arm. It's awkward to make the space tho with the shaft still in the hub. Would be easiest to remove the whole knuckle. Or the shaft out completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 That pin can be a pain Yeah. I usean Allen key just the right size and smack it through with hammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
