Don't drop it on your head / toes .

Exhaust off, prop off, remove gearstick from box, drain oil out, remove starter,clutch cable,reversing light cable,speedo cable and 6 bolts from bellhousing(17mm socket). Jobs a gud 'un! Found this the easiest way last week,removing the gearstick is easier than dropping the anti-roll bar off,will need to tilt the box down to do it tho prior to removal. Can be done on your own with a trolley jack to support the box.

Dont forget the 6mm bolt holding the adaptor plate onto the bellhousing!

4 bolts to bell housing.

Leave all the bellhousing attached to car.
