Hi guys,

I've managed to locate a refurbished gearbox and new clutch. Now Ive just gotta get mine out....

Ive removed the bumper and bumper carrier

Now Can anyone tell me if I need to remove the subframe, and If so I guess I'll need to remove the radiator etc too???

I would post a pic but I need 15 posts lol

Oh and if anyone has a guide/DIY for removing the gearbox id really really appreciate it

Thanks guys

Ian

Also have a search over on NAM in the USA, they usually have a 'how to' on most things:
