Erny 0 Posted February 22, 2012 Might be a daft question but, I need to swap my gearbox this weekend, I never struggled swapping 4cylinder boxes on my own while leaving the engine in place but the vr seems like it might be a task. Am I best just pulling the whole engine out for an easy life or is it not too hard? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quicky1980 0 Posted February 22, 2012 tbh any transverse engine gearbox swap is a pain in the rear. I've done it on a vr on my own with the engine in situ, but told my self that next time I would just taking the whole engine out. If you have a ramp and some mates to help i reckon engine left in situ is fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Blassberg 0 Posted February 22, 2012 I did it with a trolley jack to support the passenger side of the car, another one to support the gearbox and an adjustable engine support beam. Not easy, but do-able. Best wishes RB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
