Zeldoz Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Book time = 3.1 hours. Two of us did it in 2:45 on a driveway! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikeyallgood85 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I paid £120 for my clutch and flywheel replacement obviously the gearbox came out! I'd say £100 to change yours! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dicky-Art Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Well I've started doing it myself on the drive.Spend all day clearing air box/battery/clutch cylinder and linkages out the way and removing the drive shaft. Couldn't split the bottom ball joint and couldn't remove the three bolts on the control arm. In the end I unbolted the strut and steering joint and the shaft levered out the gearbox easily with a tyre lever. Took the hub nut off to removed the shaft totally.Stopped when it started hailing.Got a new clutch for it too.Gearbox should be here Tuesday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
