adman Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Looking for some help. In the process of removing my gearbox (1.8 VTi) to replace the clutch. I'm following the workshop manual, and have everything off or undone and have got to the point of removal, where it says "pull away and lower". It doesn't want to come off! I can get it to separate at the front to about 8mm. But cannot get any separation at the back. I've rechecked (several times) that I have removed all the bolts (and had someone else check).I've tried persuading it with pry bars and with a piece of wood and lump hammer, and cannot get it apart.Anyone got any tips? Am I doing something wrong?Need to get it sorted tomorrow so I can get to work on Monday.Cheers,Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adman Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Watched a couple of vids on Youtube last night and they took the starter motor off. The workshop manual doesn't say you need to but will try that just in case.And then hope it comes off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
