It's covered in the clutch change FAQ, but basically you just unbolt the box from the engine and it comes away.If it won't budge then you've probably got bolts still in it somewhere. ________________________________________ Rich |

I undid everything and could only get the box to come away about an inch or so. Wiggling it for about 20 mins until I found out about the clutch arm  ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged  [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

yeah they are pretty heavy aren't they! you might want to get someone for putting it back on, Stan306 helped me with mine I had to get under the car and do a push up with the gearbox while he hooked everything in place defo not a 1 man job unless you can use an engine crane etc?________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

It wont be going back on so thats ok! Thats why i get garages to do work involving gearobx or clutch, as i have to work on the driveway. Much easiler and safer to give someone like Carl the job  |

RichW has this down to a fine art I've helped two or three times now putting it back. It usually takes us about 20 minutes to get it back on - to a stage where you can get a few bolts in to insure the clutch fork is engaged in the bearing ________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once.

Yes, but they don't engage until the box is pushed fully home, the whole time you are fiddling around trying to get it to line up though the weight is up to you to support. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

I don't know how you blokes get your boxes out so easily! Mine was a nightmare. Took me hours to get the bas**rd out. First off there wasn't enough room to back the box out and get the shaft out, then there wasn't enough room between the suspension and the air box at the front so had the box sitting on the diff at the back and the lump for the start motor at the front of the bay. ... Haven't tried to get it back in yet either... :S |
