its peice of piss to do matey

 

Never did it myself, but a mate who works at Ford charged me 30 quid, keeping me old gearbox en had it done within a couple of hours... It was a mk4 XR3i though, but isn't really different from an RST right?

Cheers!

 

no different ,just lsd in turbo..........

 

cant remember what your last post said... does the car drive?

do you have all the bits... box, fluids

 

Piece of piss.

From memory.

Jack car, support on axle stands.
Support engine on jack.
Remove anti roll bar
remove engine cradle 5 bolts + 2 for engine mounts
remove starter motor 3 bolts
pull drive shafts out- i just pulled the wheels and mine popped out... ( might need to undo the bottom arms too )
remove the ancillaries from the engine bay above gearbox and disconnect the clutch cable quite easy
remove speedo drive cable- hand twists
Remove earth straps
7 or 9 bolts remain that bolt the bell housing to the engine
Pull gearbox off and check you've removed everything
drop it off the end of the shaft- watch out its quite cumbersome and heavy.

NB- this assumes no ABS- if the ABS is still fitted, its an ideal opp to fuck it off- but that involves more work, either way if the ABS is on there its more difficult.

Fitting is the reverse of removal... ha ha

If you've got good enough help should be an out / in job within a few hours and a few cups of tea.

gear linkage? lol

 

Nah... the amount of flex in them fuckers it will just hang down anyways.

But might be worth taking off- you might have a rare one thats tight.
