Re: Gearbox removal

2002-12-16 by Mark Saxby <mark.saxby@ntlworld.com>

Hi Don,

Although I've never tried to do it ALL the references say remove box 
and engine together (and all the articles I've seen in club magazines 
say this is how they did it).

I'm fairly sure there's a chassis rail under the rear of the box 
which would make it nearly (if not completely) impossible to drop the 
box down under the car.

Best of luck.

Mark
