Removing Gearbox

Post by Grego » Tue Sep 23, 2014 9:15 pm

Can anyone point me in the right direction on a tutorial on swapping a Jimny Gearbox.

Ive bought a manual on cd but still cant figure out what has got to be removed or how difficult it is. I have took a couple of boxes out, one being a mk2 escort,( repaired with genuine Ford parts for the grand total of 8p, those were the days) but i get the impression the Jimny isnt going to be that easy.

TIA Grego

I've not done one myself but doubt it will be too hard. 4x4s are so much easier to work on than cars.

Had SJ boxes in and out a few times without too much bother.

I have a Haynes manual for the SJ so I'm hoping it should be similar, I've looked online for a few days but drawn a blank, so I'll go with the book
