So down to the workshop and started stripping bits off, had to do it on the ground at first as the ramps were being used. Got the prop off and the tank out before they were free, then got the van lifted to a better hight for working.
Dropped the subframe, what an absolute ballache!!! All bolts seized as fook.
but got there and got the box out, dual mass flywheels gone solid, clutch plate is just on the border of shining the rivets so glad I've got a new one to go in
only problem it's a larger diameter than the original
so out with the tape and check things, looks like I need a new starter (old ones on it's way out anyway) but one that's got the stepped nose housing.
Then had a wee mild panic as looking at the bolt holes I thought the whole box might not fit
so decided to throw it up and see how it fits anyway.
So it fits!
and without too much interference
So made some more measurements and double checked things before I take prop to the multi coloured prop shop
And while the G-box was in I thought I'd offer up the front diff to see how it looks. Think that's going to be more fun than I'm having putting the box in.
