gear box removal do i need
quick question and hopefully the last one.
I have the sub frame removed. Do I need to tilt the engine down on the near side, to remove the gear box or is there enough space to slide gear box off engine and then lower without hitting the chassis? I have a jack and a bit of wood under engine to support it once I remove the near side gearbox/engine mount thank you macafee2 |

You need to lower the engine on the near side so that the box will clear the inner wing as it comes off. Do not lower the power unit too far, as this stresses the hydramount, and always support the engine during and after the lowering exercise. Good luck Pete

I think you also need to remove the exhaust or it will stop the gearbox from dropping.
If so, remember to take the oxygen sensor off the manifold first to prevent it ripping a gash in the radiator
