clutch gone :(

Yeah you get pretty quick at these things and at least they are pretty light so you can rest them on your chest

And yes just remove the prop, it helps if you have someone to tilt the engine forwards as you squeeze it up into the gap then the engine can be tilted back again to actually fit the gearbox onto it.

it was a 410 with vitars 1.6 engine i changed the gearbox on it would not come off without removing transfer box?i was under it for ages it wouldnt pull back far enof to drop ?

[ScottieJ]

That's why you tilt the engine forwards some people put a small notch in the gearbox mount crossmember to give you a tiny bit more space, there is a bit of a nack to it but it can be done.

oh yeah if you decide to take the box out i would advise you to drain it or be carefull and don tip the prop end down , as when i was taking out my sj transmission i found out the hard way and my garage stank of cat piss for a week

ha ye same happend here killd some grass in my case lol
do you need to undo engine mounts?or is ther enoff play in engine?

Leave transfer box in. Gearbox out.

I found it easiest to wiggle gear box out into drivers foot well side.

Its easy enough to get out as a one man job. When refitting i got an assistant. Get it as high as u can. Had mine sat on 12" blocks. One person needs to holds and wiggle gearbox in place and i fojnd the other had to spin flywheel using a long screwdriver till the splines lined up then when it slid into place one holds it whilst the other puts nuts/bolts in.

[ScottieJ]

Leave engine mounts bolted up

[hamer]

Wats the best way to stop the engine turning so i can undo the clutch bolts?

17mm on the bottom pully of the crankshaft if you have to.

If you align the flywheel so that you are pushing the handle of the ratchet towards the center rather than levering outside of the outer edge of the flywheel you wont need to though.
