whats the best way? engine out with box? or drop the box with engine in place?

 

whatever u find easier to be honest.. i prefer to take the engine out and leave the gearbox in its only like 6/7 bolts that hold the gearbox to the engine if i can remember correctly

just undo ur engine mounts leave the gearbox mounts in and just hoist the engine out

good luckk

 

as easy as that?

 

yep!

 

i drop mine out from under the car easy as but both are the same amount of work

 

I used to take the box out and leave the engine in place on my old RST. I changed the clutch on an XR3 i had years ago and just unhooked to box and swung it with the shafts still in and changed clutch but that was a bit of a mission.

 

many ways to do it just take ur pick lol...if uve got an engine crane it'll make ur life a hell of a lot easier!

 

Leave then engine in and drop the box, Last time I did mine took 2hour from pulling on to my mates drive till the car was back on the floor, including, fag break, zoot breaks and tea breaks, yes me and my mates dont work long with out breaks, the box pretty much drops off!
