its a hell of a lot easier to take engine out than take a gearbox off a abs equipped car and a hell of a lot less mess,especially with no ramp
also saves money on gearbox oil which isnt fuckin cheap

4-5 hrs and the engine was out,clutch changed and built back up running,that was while putting an engine in my mates car which was sitting right beside murdochs,if it was non abs i would have dropped the box
