Gearbx separate from engine

Postby tranmx2 » Sun May 22, 2022 8:55 pm

Previously had removed gearbox/engine bolts and supported the gearbox on its subframe.
Put a jack under the engine subframe and lifted a bit, put the engine on the engine crane and lifted a bit. Removed bolts/nuts engine mounts and subframe 4 x 13 mm and 4 x maybe 10 mm. Lowered subframe which left the engine dangling, lowered engine so gearbox was supported on its subframe. Engine did not come away from the gearbox. The gearbox was supported prior to lifting the engine.

Have 9 bolts from gearbox/engine. Is there more than 9 bolts gearbox/engine? I cannot see more on images of gearboxes 6 speed RWD.

Anyone have advice re' separate engine from gearbox?

The starter motor is removed.
Thanks for the reply! I thought it could be stuck on the dowels, better to ask before hitting it.
Keep finding hidden bolts/screws. Not easy to see what one is doing when under it, lots of pipes, harnesses, metal bits in the way, like looking up from below the roots.
