Guys I'm struggling to get my gearbox out

I have all bolts undone, front arb lowered, exhaust off, rear beam/diff prop shaft off.

The gearbox has come away about 2cm but I can't move it any further

I've tried jacking up and lowering it, wiggling it and got the pry bars behind it... I just can't get it out

Any ideas or tips? anyone wanna come around and help

 

Yes mate clutch cable is off, will try the WD40.

Shoud it be easier then this??

 

You have taken the gear stick cradle off and the pin out of the shaft that fits on top of the box for the selector.

Would be a good time to mod the box for hydraulic if that's a future mod.

 

I have taken the gearstick surround off but not actually removed the gearstick as was planning on lowering it complete but can remove if needed. The gearstick hasn't touch the edge of the inteior surround yet so I don't think it caught there.

What the best angle to have it out?

 

Martin if the box is modded for the hydrolics can it still use the standard clutch cable untill I could get to where ever for the rest of the mods?

 

Yes.

 

The gearbox wont pull back any more you have to remove the pin and free the cradle off the box.

Martin thats good to know

Mark I'll get on that next thanks

 

come on Paul, how is it supposed to move with gearstick still in.

 

There's space all around the gearstick and its not even come out far enough to touch anything. I didn't take it off last time I removed the engine and gearbox still joined.
I'll try again with it taken off

 

You haven't got any pipework (breather/water) trapped between the top of the belhousing and the bulkhead have you??

 

ive used a bit off wood in the past to get them appart, just easing it appart with a bit of leaverage.

 

Yep gearstick off and some brute force

 

the gearbox has got to go back a good bit to slide off the shaft,so the stick has to come off.

different if the engine is coming out,everything lowers down.

 

is the speedo cable off aswell.

 

It's on the front driveshaft!!

 

oops, so it is lol.

the times i have done gearboxes too.

 

Aint you got it off yet?

 

I had the phone call this morning Dave, but I was in bed watching American Chopper! ........

So I respectfully declined his offer!

Oh and I'm 30mls away!
