joby 0 Posted February 9, 2013 Ok, its been a while since i did mine, but this is how i would tackle it, Get the car as high as you can on axle stands plenty of clearance needed! Battery disconected, driveshafts of the box, any earth straps or wiring disconected, jack placed under sump with a wooden plate so as not to dent the sump. take off gearbox mount then front engine mount to lower the engine then gearbox bolts off making sure you support the box then it should come off, Make sure you have a clutch aligning tool to replace clutch and i would check seals on gearbox for leaks and crankshaft seal on engine side for leaks as its all easy to replace at this stage and cheap enough from ecp, dont get a cheap clutch, false economy!! Take your time as its a heavy job but easy enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted February 9, 2013 An engine support beam makes this job a lot easier and safer, if you only need it once you can sell it on for not much less, I bought one for about 60 quid delivered. a clutch centering tool isn't needed you can make do with sockets and tape to pad them out, it only has to be roughy centred. before you start make sure you have a spline tool that fits the driveshaft bolts nicely and disconnect the battery, engine must be supported before removing the starter motor as the bolts go through to the front engine mount Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guildmage 11 Posted February 9, 2013 Not sure if it's any relevant (being VR6 guide) but it's available so worth having a look: http://wiki.the-corrado.net/category_engine_bay.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild-Animal 0 Posted February 9, 2013 If you have never taken a gearbox off before and are planning on doing it on the ground with haxle stands , its not a nice job. If you know someone who has done it before then try and get help of them. Its a heavy brute of a thing to be sitting on your chest while trying to allign it.

cdem 0 Posted February 9, 2013 Easy with 2 people, slightly more difficult doing it alone even if you are a bit hench! I've done mine with a block of wood under the sump and a jack supporting it. Know many people who have done it that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
