Gearbox removal

Post by lazy rambler » Fri Jul 27, 2012 4:14 pm

I'm about to pull mine out with the engine.
Propably a stupid question but does the shaft to the tbox need un-bolting or does it just slide out?

Slides out

Might be a pain to slide back in tho so worth considering when refitting

I'd unbolt it from the Transfer case anyway, only four bolts

Any tips on seperating the gearbox from the enging? Been at it all morning and can't get them apart, it's doing my nut in.

4 bolts hold g box to engine, then starter and shit guard underneath front of g box (2bolts) need to come off as they fit in behind the flywheel after that it should just slide right off :-)
if in doubt, FLAT OUT!
