    hi , just having trouble with removing the gearbox on the vr6 as the automatic is larger compared to the manual box, also being automatic it has the torque convertor making it even harder to manouvre the driveshaft cup around the flywheel. the gearbox is supported with a trolley jack and the back of it where the driveshafts go in is held with rope attached to a longer pole that rests on the top of each wing ( with lots of padding ) meaning i can lever some of the weight. the engine is supported with a jack. any advice would be much appreciated

    ok so im half way through removing the gearbox and managed to remove the passengers side drive shaft but for the drivers side there is no room to get a spline socket and a wrench in! how can i get past this ? also realised the rubber boot had split is it any easier with this off ? cheers

    you can test if its an internal coolant leak if you smell it and its sweet but also insted of the carpets just being wet they will be sticky. have you checked the thermostat housing ? they are a weak spot and tend to leak

    im in the channel islands so id have to ship. where abouts did you get it from ?
  22. rsweeney
    i am planning to do it in bits so my aim is to get it near enough spot on. Did you use an electric sander on yours ?
  23. rsweeney
    i have started to polish the manifold using 120 sandpaper as i didnt have 40. I did about half an hour then thee next day i went and got some 40 and carried on. In some places it looks as it should at this stage but in some places there are lots of smaller dark dimples. Is this just where i need to sand more or am i doing something wrong ? just a bit cautious as i dont want to mess it up
