Diagram of the gearbox being lowered by a hydraulic jack, disengaged from studs, with drive shafts attached. Directional arrows indicate movement.
  1. Remove the engine mounting, gearbox side.
  2. Remove the bottom bolts securing the bellhousing to the engine block.
  3. Manoeuvre the hydraulic jack to disengage the gearbox from the attachment studs and surrounding components. Gradually lower the jack and withdraw the gearbox complete with drive shafts. If this operation proves difficult, remove the attachments securing the first section of the exhaust pipe to the manifold, to allow the engine to move forwards and so facilitate withdrawal of the gearbox.
  4. If the gearbox has to be overhauled, drain the oil by undoing the plug indicated, and disconnect the two drive shafts by removing the gaiter clips.
