lewlew 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 could i have some guidance please, im taking my engine out to do the timing and other various bits and bobs, ive never took it out on its own before tho, do you have to undo any clips surrounding the clutch area? or will it just seperate when i undo the ring of bolts on the gearbox/engine? cheers Link to post Share on other sites

cabrioman 6 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 do u wanna know how to get the engine and bos out or the gear box off the engine ??? Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 i think its easier to take the whole lot out together then seperate gearbox from engine . Alot easier if you dont have aircon just take the front off the car disconnect gear linkage cables and wiring harness and stering rack then drop the subframe with engine and box still attached to it Link to post Share on other sites

lewlew 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 erm is it easier to seperate the box then take it out or leave the box on and take out together, i dont fancy taking the whole subframe out with everything attached Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 take the engine and box out as a whole and then seperat the box from the engine .... dont need to take the subframe out .... drain the coolant, remove the drive shafts from the box, disconnect the down pipe, discontect any wiring and pipes that need removing ie coolant pipes and engine multi plug, knock sensor and o2 sensor, take the front end of the car off and undo the engine mounts and lift the engine out that way ....
