Important:
The centre of gravity of the gearbox is outside the pivot centre of the support clamp. A second fitter has to hold the gearbox housing when it is being turned to prevent it from swinging round.

Note:

If the gearbox is full and it is to be tilted in the assembly stand with the oil pan pointing upwards, the vent holes for the gearbox housing and final drive must be sealed.
