Hi mate,
How far have we got
???!
Just an overview.
.
.
the engine
& box are held in by 4 main engine mounts.
.
.
.since you're removing 3 which comes with the gearbox, you need to find a means to support the engine.
.
.
.
Front engine mount
:
Disconnect gear cables, you'll see them retained by a clip in the main holding bracket
( part of the slave cylinder bracket
)
Remove the clips on the gear selector and remove the clips retaining the cables in the bracket.
.
.
Disassemble the front engine mount to remove the slave cylinder out of position.
.
.
this way, you wont have to bleed the system as you're not breaking into the hydraulics.
.
leave it hanging.
To remove the slave cylinder, there are 2x 12mm bolt.
Remove them, keep in a safe place.
The front engine mount has 2 x 14mm bolts that need removing and keeping in a safe place as well.
.
.
that should allow you to stick the slave on the floor with all the bracket in pieces.
.
.
.
Rear engine mount.
.
.
.
simply disconnect the 3 bolts that bolt into the subframe, leave everything else in place.
Passenger engine mount
:
Disconnect all the steady bar, you'll see a large bracket which the box bolts upto the engine mount, this is where you'll seperate it.
.
.
1x 14mm from the top, 2 x 14mm from the bottom.
Things start to move when you disconnect these so be sure to have the box supported and the engine supported.
Before you go any further.
.
.
.
.
electrical wiring disconnections
.
.
.
Reverse lights switch
( on top of box
).
.
.
speedo
( rear of box
).
.
.
and all the starter motor wires
( disconnect battery btw
)
You will be able to remove all the bolts that hold the box in place to the engine block, the locating eyes will hold the box in alignment.
.
the input shaft will hold it from falling on the floor.
Be warned.
.
this is a 2 person job.
.
or an engine hoist requirement.
.
.
do not attempted to unbolt the box and remove it.
.
the shear mass of it will injure you
!!!!
Safety first buddy
